Try this, to save yourself some typing
$ phrun() {
  perl $1 > temporary.html | open temporary.html
 }
$ phrun idpass.cgi

if you like it, you can put the phrun() definition into your .profile,
and you'll have it every time you run terminal.

there's nothing special about the name phrun (perl html run?), call it
whatever you like
