|Well, not without forking. :)

I thought of that, but consider it basically the same as the example given:
whether the intermediary is a pipe or a temp file, write to some filehandle,
then read the formatted text. With the temp file you need to clean up the
file while pipes go away on their own, but forking doesn't work with perls
that don't fork.
