Aside from the aforementioned IPC::System::Simple, I also wrote IPC::System::Options which:
- unlike IPC::System::Simple, provides an interface that is backward-compatible with the built-in system() and readpipe() (backtick), meaning that if you use them like the built-in, they will behave the same;
- provides option (either on a per-call basis, or on a per-import basis) to always try to avoid the shell, or to always try to use the shell;
- provide a bunch of other options, e.g.: to die on failure, to log using Log::ger, to capture or tee output, to set environment variables, to chdir() first, and to run in dry-run mode.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

Want more info? How to link
or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
