I go on any system, fucking perl. I look at scripts written by IT, not shell scripts, fucking perl. I try openBSD, fucking perl. FreeBSD? fucking perl. Default packages on linux even.. no python, no ruby, FUCKING PERL WHAT THE FUCK PERL PERL PERL

Maybe something like this?
(pipe
(cat file.txt)
(grep needle))

Wouldn't it make more sense to put the standard input as the first argument, followed by arguments to be sent to the command?

(grep (cat 'file) 'needle)
