Writing to named Pipes

I'm interested in creating a trigger that will write columns from the triggered row to a named pipe. The process on the other side of the pipe is a non-PL/SQL program, likely written in C or PERL. I had intended to use the UTL_FILE package to do this, if possible, but now I'm wondering about the DBMS_PIPE package. Does anyone have any info on doing this? Any example code? Any reasons to use one method over the other?

Thanks in advance,
Keith
