Why is it that a program can open $STDIN or $STDINX fine when called from the
CI or from the shell, but when I try to call the same program from Perl (using

open(OUT,"| ./program")

), I get

The procedure detected the end of the file, or no error detected.  (FSERR 0)
File System message 600

?  BTW, that's an HPFOpen status of -39321457.
