Monks, I'm in the dos shell with ActiveState perl.

oneTwoThree.pl prints 

one
two
three

[download]
filterTwoThree.pl checks lines of input and only prints if they match "two" or "three. I want to run something like 
filterTwoThree.pl | oneTwoThree.pl

[download]
and have this spit out 
two 
three

[download]
Is there a way I can hook these scripts up in one line of dos? I have never used pipes before but I am beginning to see how they could be useful. I think this might be easier in the unix shell... is it worth installing Cygwin so I can use pipes?

Thanks for your wisdom! 

#!c:/perl/bin/perl
#oneTwoThree.pl
use warnings;
use strict;

print "one\n";
print "two\n";
print "three\n";

[download]
#filterTwoAndThree.pl
use warnings;
use strict;

if (/two|three/) {
  print $_;
}

[download]
UPDATE: Maybe the answer is here: How do I store and manipulate the output from another process?

UPDATE: Thanks RazorbladeBidet. I googled around and found many places that suggested dos pipes were somehow handicapped, but in this case I can get what I want to work with, by adding the -n flag 

perl oneTwoThree.pl | perl -n filterTwoAndThree.pl
