    It gives me this error: 2> was unexpected at this time. This was my code: 
    FOR /F "tokens=*" %%A IN ('perl -v 2>nul ^| FIND "This is perl 5, vers

      Escape the '>' in the same way that you escaped the '|'.

+echo %a

C:\test>for /f "tokens=*" %a in ('perl -v 2^>nul ^| find "perl"') do @
