Win32 Named Pipe.

This module wraps the Win32 Named Pipes API for inter-process
communication on a single machine or across a network. A server creates
a named pipe and waits for clients; a client opens an existing pipe and
exchanges byte streams with the server.

Dave Roth released the original in 1996. Gurusamy Sarathy folded it
into the `libwin32` bundle, and Jan Dubois split it back out for
separate CPAN release in 2008. The perl-libwin32 organization now
maintains it.
