[MacPerl] piping between programs

[Hans Holtan]

I'm just starting with MacPerl, and I'm having trouble calling 
another program. What I am trying to do is to pass information to a 
separate search engine and to process the output from that program. 
Since there is no comand line and backticks are not fully supported, 
how do I do this in MacPerl.

Thanks for the help.
