Why's the FAQ using such old-style/C-ish Perl anyway? Something
like this would be better:

    open( my $pipe, '-|', perl => -e => q{
        $|++;
        for $i ( 0 .. 9 ) {
            $sum += $i;
            print "Line $i: sum = $sum\n";
            sleep 1;
        }
    } ) or die "Failed running perl subprocess\n";

and then substitute all occurences of "IN" with "$pipe" in the
rest of the code.

There are more cases of two-arg open.

Is there a way to send a patch for the FAQ or is it unavoidable
to be an annoyance if one wants it fixed? :-)
