perl-Shell - run shell commands transparently within perl

Description:

This package is included as a show case, illustrating a few Perl features.
It shouldn't be used for production programs. Although it does provide a
simple interface for obtaining the standard output of arbitrary commands,
there may be better ways of achieving what you need.
Running shell commands while obtaining standard output can be done with
the qx/STRING/ operator, or by calling open with a filename expression that
ends with |, giving you the option to process one line at a time. If you
don't need to process standard output at all, you might use system
(in preference of doing a print with the collected standard output).
Since Shell.pm and all of the aforementioned techniques use your system's
shell to call some local command, none of them is portable across different
systems. Note, however, that there are several built in functions and
library packages providing portable implementations of functions operating
on files, such as: glob, link and unlink, mkdir and rmdir, rename,
File::Compare, File::Copy, File::Find etc.
