Hi Brandon,
I used the wrong term there. I meant to say: put in a file. Sorry for
the confusion.

If you're going to use terms in a different way than what they
actually mean, it's going to be difficult to produce something that
does what you believe it should do *and* what it should actually do.
A pipe is for communication with a process. "Piped to a file" means
what? What's the process you're communicating with?
More to the point, "run" is intended to be lower level, specifically
so you can directly control things. Things like redirection and shell
pipelines are higher level.
That said, :out and :err are incompletely documented; the form that
tells it to create pipes so your script can communicate with the
process is there, but you can also specify handles to attach them to.
In which case you would open a file, then say :out($myHandle) to
attach the process's stdout to the handle $myHandle.
