That's what I was looking for !! MAN, for the life of me, I can't believe I didn't remember that option. Bet I won't forget it next time.
It seems the the times are approximately the same for all three methods, however Ygor's method does provide the one-line code I was looking for and prevents having to remove any named-pipe.
Thanks Ygor !!

tie::scalar
Tie::Scalar(3pm) Perl Programmers Reference Guide Tie::Scalar(3pm)
NAME
Tie::Scalar, Tie::StdScalar - base class definitions for tied scalars
SYNOPSIS
package NewScalar;
require Tie::Scalar;
@ISA = (Tie::Scalar);
sub FETCH { ... } # Provide a needed method
sub TIESCALAR { ... } # Overrides inherited method
package NewStdScalar;
require Tie::Scalar;
@ISA = (Tie::StdScalar);
# All methods provided by default, so define only what needs be overridden
sub FETCH { ... }
package main;
tie $new_scalar, 'NewScalar';
tie $new_std_scalar, 'NewStdScalar';
DESCRIPTION
This module provides some skeletal methods for scalar-tying classes. See perltie for a list of the functions required in tying a scalar to
a package. The basic Tie::Scalar package provides a "new" method, as well as methods "TIESCALAR", "FETCH" and "STORE". The Tie::StdScalar
package provides all the methods specified in perltie. It inherits from Tie::Scalar and causes scalars tied to it to behave exactly like
the built-in scalars, allowing for selective overloading of methods. The "new" method is provided as a means of grandfathering, for classes
that forget to provide their own "TIESCALAR" method.
For developers wishing to write their own tied-scalar classes, the methods are summarized below. The perltie section not only documents
these, but has sample code as well:
TIESCALAR classname, LIST
The method invoked by the command "tie $scalar, classname". Associates a new scalar instance with the specified class. "LIST" would
represent additional arguments (along the lines of AnyDBM_File and compatriots) needed to complete the association.
FETCH this
Retrieve the value of the tied scalar referenced by this.
STORE this, value
Store data value in the tied scalar referenced by this.
DESTROY this
Free the storage associated with the tied scalar referenced by this. This is rarely needed, as Perl manages its memory quite well. But
the option exists, should a class wish to perform specific actions upon the destruction of an instance.
MORE INFORMATION
The perltie section uses a good example of tying scalars by associating process IDs with priority.
