What do you mean?
I tested the little Perl snippet on my SPARC and it produces the output on STDOUT for the "ps -ef" command.
I don't get what you mean for "standard input". I know the handle is used for INPUT processing via a file Handle but what I suggested still works.
It's probably not syntaticallly correct but it works perfect. Perl doesn't seem to care if the pipe (|) is in front.
It does send the "ps -ef" command to STDOUT though I guarantee it...try it.
I also found it convienient to give it a handle because then this guy can manipulate the data any way he wants to later on.
I might be misunderstanding you though.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
