What's the best way to make an msperl (pl 41) script behave as a
normal unix one does with regards to pipes and such?

C:\> SCRIPT > LPT1

It would be nice to be able to do such redirects, but both msperls
(pl18 and 41) seem to write directly to CON.  I'm no DOS guru, but
this is a little disconcerting.

BTW, open(STDOUT, ">-") kills the script, even if STDOUT is closed first.
