-=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 $passwd;
-
- sub ps;
- print ps -ww;
-
- cp("/etc/passwd", "/etc/passwd.orig");
-
-That's maybe too gonzo. It actually exports an AUTOLOAD to the current
-package (and uncovered a bug in Beta 3, by the way). Maybe the usual
-usage should be
-
- use Shell qw(echo cat ps cp);
-
-Larry Wall
-
-Changes by Jenda@Krynicky.cz and Dave Cottle <d.cottle@csc.canterbury.ac.nz>.
-
-Changes for OO syntax and bug fixes by Casey West <casey@geeknest.com>.
-
-C<$Shell::raw> and pod rewrite by Wolfgang Laun.
-
-Rewritten to use closures rather than C<eval "string"> by Adriano Ferreira.
