Access named pipe in Windows XP

I know this question came up before, but I don't see a clear answer to it.

I want to write to a named pipe from my script, but the "open" function
below doesn't seem to work.

set p [open "\\\\.\\Pipe\\my_test_pipe" w]

However, the open function in Perl works just fine:
open(p, "> \\\\.\\Pipe\\my_test_pipe")

Could anybody shed any light on this?

TIA,
Jim
