Subject: Help with piping messages to unix command

I've problems with PINE 3.91 under Linux. I'd like to pipe a message to a
Unix command (actually a perl script) but it seems that the | command
doesn't work. 

It actually starts the program but doesn't pipes data to the program's
stdin. 

Eg: if I say:

Pipe message to : cat > test.txt

the command is executed and I find an empty file test.txt

Notice that I've tested the same command under Solaris 2.4 and SunOS 4.1
and it works as expected.

The source package I've used to install pine is the same for all the 
three systems (linix, Solarisd, SunOS).

Yes, I've enabled:    [X]  enable-unix-pipe-cmd

Many thanks to whoever can give me some hints.

PS: I like PINE very much.
