I wish there were a way to use STDIN, but the TechNote doesn't mention it, which makes me think it probably can't be done. TechNote just says "consider writing to a file." :/

No such beast. If you're used to perl, you're dealing with the equivalent of backticks or "qx", not something more complicated like process filehandles. At some point, we'll probably introduce a more general mechanism resembling filehandles, which will solve a number of problems including this one, but for now you're stuck for it.
