# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE: # The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description. # Line up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and # the '|' on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in. # You must make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct. It's also # customary to leave one space after the ':' except on otherwise blank lines. |-----handy-ruler------------------------------------------------------| perl-IPC-System-Simple: perl-IPC-System-Simple (Run commands, with detailed diagnostics) perl-IPC-System-Simple: perl-IPC-System-Simple: Calling Perl's in-built 'system()' function is easy; determining if perl-IPC-System-Simple: it was successful is _hard_.
