PACKAGE NAME: perl-System-Sub-0.162800-noarch-1_slackdce.txz PACKAGE LOCATION: ./perl/perl-System-Sub PACKAGE SIZE (compressed): 20 K PACKAGE SIZE (uncompressed): 60 K PACKAGE REQUIRED: perl-File-Which,perl-IPC-Run,perl-Scalar-List-Utils,perl-Sub-Name PACKAGE CONFLICTS: PACKAGE SUGGESTS: PACKAGE DESCRIPTION: 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.
