Does a program started by WIN32::OPEN-PIPE receive as stdin
what you write on the "two-way pipe"? I can successfully read
output coming from the program, but I can't seem to shove any
input down there.

Or, is there another way I should be doing this sort of thing?

I really, really don't want to use temporary files for doing
this communication.
