Thanks for that, I didn't know about getting the command passed to the shell
with 'verbose'.
That might be useful to mention in :help 'verbose' :-)
I note the command passed to the shell printed by the verbose setting doesn't
seem to account for shellxquote or shellcmdflag or other such things.

After this input, I tried escaping the '|' for the sake of the cmd.exe shell.
Either of the following work:
:set shellxquote= shellquote=\" shelltemp
:.!echo "test^|moretest"
:!echo "test^|moretest"
:echo system('echo "test|moretest"')
Note, the system() function is now inconsistent with filter or :! command, as
it does not require escaping.
:set shellxquote=( shellquote= noshelltemp
:.!echo "test|moretest"
:!echo "test|moretest"
:echo system('echo "test|moretest"')
Note, with noshelltemp everything works consistently and as expected with the
shellx?quote settings at their default values.

I'd rather not set the shell to Perl every time I want to run an external Perl
command.
