# Easier/portable (you could also call time() directly in the printf
below instead of using a variable):

my $time = time()

I'd suggest opening the pipe only when you want to write to it, or at
least after parsing the arguments. Ex. you could open and close it in
the send_to_named_pipe function.

# I guess you meant something like this:
printf CF "[%i] %s\n", $now, $command;

Anyhow, if you're still stuck try outputing to a standard file, then
compare the lines you get with known working commands.
