# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE: # The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description. # Line up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and # the '|' on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in. # You must make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct. It's also # customary to leave one space after the ':' except on otherwise blank lines. |-----handy-ruler------------------------------------------------------| perl-System-Sub: perl-System-Sub (Wrap external command with a DWIM sub) perl-System-Sub: perl-System-Sub: System::Sub provides in your package a sub that wraps the call to an perl-System-Sub: external program. The return value is line(s) dependending on context perl-System-Sub: (wantarray). perl-System-Sub: perl-System-Sub: This may be what you need if you want to run external commands as perl-System-Sub: easily as from a Unix shell script but with a perl-ish feel perl-System-Sub: (contextual output). So this is not a universal module for running perl-System-Sub: external programs (like IPC::Run) but instead a simpler interface for perl-System-Sub: a common style of external programs.
