in reply to Modules which improve system() ?

Ah! A Klingon programmer!

You would rather have your minions die then return in failure... Well, we can oblige...

You're looking for Perl6::Builtins, which you can use as follows:

use Perl6::Builtins qw( system );

system $cmd
   or croak "Couldn't run: $cmd ($OS_ERROR)";

Example was taken from TheDamian's Perl Best Practices.

    That's incredibly interesting.
    we can prepare for tomorrow, today!

    are there any downsides, caveats, or cautions to using the Perl6 namespace? for example, are any of these going to change in subtle, bug-introducing ways down the road? or do they cause perl to run incredibly slow or something horrible? it seems too good to be true

    update... i answered my own question, here the dreaded source filter lurks...
