=head1 NAME
Shell - run shell commands transparently within perl
=head1 SYNOPSIS
See below.
=head1 DESCRIPTION
Date: Thu, 22 Sep 94 16:18:16 -0700
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", "/tmp/passwd");
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);
