readpipe scalar EXPR
readpipe LIST # (proposed)This is the internal function implementing the qx// quote construct (also known as the
backticks operator). It is occasionally handy when you need to specify
your EXPR in a way that wouldn’t be handy
using the quoted form. Be aware that we may change this interface in the
future to support a LIST argument to make it
more like the exec function, so don’t
assume that it will continue to provide scalar context for
EXPR. Supply the scalar yourself, or try the
LIST form. Who knows, it might work by the
time you read this.
