what you have quoted will not expand.

Instead, write the command to a variable something like
Code:
my $command = "perl scriptname.pl @args | ";

#expand argument list here as though its been executed from command lin
# then open the pipe in the same command

Code:
my $pipe_des;
open($pipe_des, $command) or die "Unable to open pipe command : $command <$!> \n";

NAME
matcherrc2perlfilter -- Conversion of matcherrc rules to perl DESCRIPTION
This script converts matcherrc filtering rules into perl_filter rules for usage with the claws-mail-perl-filter plugin of the Claws Mail mailer. USAGE
matcherrc2perlfilter No arguments required. Conversion is done for current user only. FILES
$HOME/.claws-mail/matcherrc Input file where standard filtering rules lie. $HOME/.claws-mail/perl_filter Output file written by this script. Converted rules are appended if the file already exists, so be careful when running the script more than once. BUGS
This conversion script doesn't produce nice Perl code and is just intended to get you started. If you choose to use the Perl plugin, consider rewriting your rules. SEE ALSO
