The CPAN shell supports | and > with their 'usual' (shell) meaning you
can do a
i /^Text/ | less
in order to pipe the result to the less program (according to the
documentation, there has to be a space in front of the |).
NB: In contrast to the documentation, at least the CPAN shell I used for
testing didn't ignore SIGPIPE which meant that it suddenly exited when
terminating the pager before it read all of the output. An explicit
! $SIG{PIPE} = 'IGNORE'
could be used to work around that.

I have a perl script that I can run by opening a command window and typing
perl.exe myscript.pl
I would like to create an "executable" file (but not a desktop shortcut)
that, when clicked on, would execute that command.
Can anyone help?
Thanks.

PAR::Packer has the pp tool which packs perl (the exe) and your script
and modules into a single exe file. This file you can also copy to a
different computer and run. Since it includes perl the resulting exe is
quite large (over 1 MB).
No idea if there's something better, but I've used pp for years and most
of the time it just works.
