+=head1 NAME
+
+Shell - run shell commands transparently within perl
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+ use Shell qw(cat ps cp);
+ $passwd = cat('</etc/passwd');
+ @pslines = ps('-ww'),
+ cp("/etc/passwd", "/tmp/passwd");
+
+ # object oriented
+ my $sh = Shell->new;
+ print $sh->ls('-l');
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+=head2 Caveats
+
+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
+C<qx/STRING/> operator, or by calling C<open> with a filename expression that
+ends with C<|>, 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 C<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: C<glob>, C<link> and C<unlink>, C<mkdir> and C<rmdir>,
+C<rename>, C<File::Compare>, C<File::Copy>, C<File::Find> etc.
+
+Using Shell.pm while importing C<foo> creates a subroutine C<foo> in the
+namespace of the importing package. Calling C<foo> with arguments C<arg1>,
+C<arg2>,... results in a shell command C<foo arg1 arg2...>, where the
+function name and the arguments are joined with a blank. (See the subsection
+on Escaping magic characters.) Since the result is essentially a command
+line to be passed to the shell, your notion of arguments to the Perl
+function is not necessarily identical to what the shell treats as a
+command line token, to be passed as an individual argument to the program.
+Furthermore, note that this implies that C<foo> is callable by file name
+only, which frequently depends on the setting of the program's environment.
+
+Creating a Shell object gives you the opportunity to call any command
+in the usual OO notation without requiring you to announce it in the
+C<use Shell> statement. Don't assume any additional semantics being
+associated with a Shell object: in no way is it similar to a shell
+process with its environment or current working directory or any
+other setting.
+
+=head2 Escaping Magic Characters
+
+It is, in general, impossible to take care of quoting the shell's
+magic characters. For some obscure reason, however, Shell.pm quotes
+apostrophes (C<'>) and backslashes (C<\>) on UNIX, and spaces and
+quotes (C<">) on Windows.
+
+=head2 Configuration
+
+If you set $Shell::capture_stderr to 1, the module will attempt to
+capture the standard error output of the process as well. This is
+done by adding C<2E<gt>&1> to the command line, so don't try this on
+a system not supporting this redirection.
+
+Setting $Shell::capture_stderr to -1 will send standard error to the
+bit bucket (i.e., the equivalent of adding C<2E<gt>/dev/null> to the
+command line). The same caveat regarding redirection applies.
+
+If you set $Shell::raw to true no quoting whatsoever is done.
+
+=head1 BUGS
+
+Quoting should be off by default.
+
+It isn't possible to call shell built in commands, but it can be
+done by using a workaround, e.g. shell( '-c', 'set' ).
+
+Capturing standard error does not work on some systems (e.g. VMS).

+ Message-Id: <9409222318.AA17072@scalpel.netlabs.com>
+ To: perl5-porters@isu.edu
+ From: Larry Wall <lwall@scalpel.netlabs.com>
+ Subject: a new module I just wrote
+
+Here's one that'll whack your mind a little out.
+
+ #!/usr/bin/perl
+
+ use Shell;
+
+ $foo = echo("howdy", "<funny>", "world");
+ print $foo;
+
+ $passwd = cat("</etc/passwd");
+ print $passwd;
+
+ sub ps;
+ print ps -ww;
+
+ cp("/etc/passwd", "/etc/passwd.orig");
+
+That's maybe too gonzo. It actually exports an AUTOLOAD to the current
+package (and uncovered a bug in Beta 3, by the way). Maybe the usual
+usage should be
+
+ use Shell qw(echo cat ps cp);
