I have put out a simple Named Pipe extension for
Win32 Perl. It has been meagerly tested on the
build 107 and it seems to work.
The pipes are impliemented as a byte steam (no message
based pipes) in blocking mode (no async yet). Each named
pipe can have up to 256 instances and the number of pipes 
are limited by computer resources.
This is so very, very beta but it seems to work. Let me
know if there are any serious bugs.
This has been uploaded to CPAN but you can also grab it 
from:
  ftp://ftp.roth.net/pub/ntperl/Win32Pipe_v960610.zip
Let me know what you think!
