named pipes or files on disk?

All,


I am new to the concept of named pipes on unix/linux


by using 
use Fcntl;

will the named pipe transaction be faster than reading a file off the hd?

I am thinking a writing a daemon cron process, which a cgi process can attach to
and read from memory, instead of file.



I dont want to use mod_perl.


Thanks in advance for your input.

Jeremy
