IPC::System::Simple - Run commands simply, with detailed diagnostics

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  use IPC::System::Simple qw(system systemx capture capturex);

  system("some_command");        # Command succeeds or dies!

  system("some_command",@args);  # Succeeds or dies, avoids shell if @args

  systemx("some_command",@args); # Succeeds or dies, NEVER uses the shell


  # Capture the output of a command (just like backticks). Dies on error.
  my $output = capture("some_command");

  # Just like backticks in list context.  Dies on error.
  my @output = capture("some_command");

  # As above, but avoids the shell if @args is non-empty
  my $output = capture("some_command", @args);

  # As above, but NEVER invokes the shell.
  my $output = capturex("some_command", @args);
  my @output = capturex("some_command", @args);

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Calling Perl's in-built C<system()> function is easy, 
determining if it was successful is I<hard>.  Let's face it,
C<$?> isn't the nicest variable in the world to play with, and
even if you I<do> check it, producing a well-formatted error
string takes a lot of work.

C<IPC::System::Simple> takes the hard work out of calling 
external commands.  In fact, if you want to be really lazy,
you can just write:

    use IPC::System::Simple qw(system);

and all of your C<system> commands will either succeed (run to
completion and return a zero exit value), or die with rich diagnostic
messages.

The C<IPC::System::Simple> module also provides a simple replacement
to Perl's backticks operator.  Simply write:

    use IPC::System::Simple qw(capture);

and then use the L</capture()> command just like you'd use backticks.
If there's an error, it will die with a detailed description of what
went wrong.  Better still, you can even use C<capturex()> to run the
equivalent of backticks, but without the shell:

    use IPC::System::Simple qw(capturex);

    my $result = capturex($command, @args);

If you want more power than the basic interface, including the
ability to specify which exit values are acceptable, trap errors,
or process diagnostics, then read on!

=head1 ADVANCED SYNOPSIS

  use IPC::System::Simple qw(
    capture capturex system systemx run runx $EXITVAL EXIT_ANY
  );

  # Run a command, throwing exception on failure

  run("some_command");

  runx("some_command",@args);  # Run a command, avoiding the shell

  # Do the same thing, but with the drop-in system replacement.

  system("some_command");

  systemx("some_command", @args);

  # Run a command which must return 0..5, avoid the shell, and get the
  # exit value (we could also look at $EXITVAL)

  my $exit_value = runx([0..5], "some_command", @args);

  # The same, but any exit value will do.

  my $exit_value = runx(EXIT_ANY, "some_command", @args);

  # Capture output into $result and throw exception on failure

  my $result = capture("some_command");	

  # Check exit value from captured command

  print "some_command exited with status $EXITVAL\n";

  # Captures into @lines, splitting on $/
  my @lines = capture("some_command"); 

  # Run a command which must return 0..5, capture the output into
  # @lines, and avoid the shell.

  my @lines  = capturex([0..5], "some_command", @args);

=head1 ADVANCED USAGE

=head2 run() and system()

C<IPC::System::Simple> provides a subroutine called
C<run>, that executes a command using the same semantics is
Perl's built-in C<system>:

    use IPC::System::Simple qw(run);

    run("cat *.txt");           # Execute command via the shell
    run("cat","/etc/motd");     # Execute command without shell

The primary difference between Perl's in-built system and
the C<run> command is that C<run> will throw an exception on
failure, and allows a list of acceptable exit values to be set.
See L</Exit values> for further information.

In fact, you can even have C<IPC::System::Simple> replace the
default C<system> function for your package so it has the
same behaviour:

    use IPC::System::Simple qw(system);

    system("cat *.txt");  # system now suceeds or dies!

C<system> and C<run> are aliases to each other.

See also L</runx(), systemx() and capturex()> for variants of
C<system()> and C<run()> that never invoke the shell, even with
a single argument.

=head2 capture()

A second subroutine, named C<capture> executes a command with
the same semantics as Perl's built-in backticks (and C<qx()>):

    use IPC::System::Simple qw(capture);

    # Capture text while invoking the shell.
    my $file  = capture("cat /etc/motd");
    my @lines = capture("cat /etc/passwd");

However unlike regular backticks, which always use the shell, C<capture>
will bypass the shell when called with multiple arguments:

    # Capture text while avoiding the shell.
    my $file  = capture("cat", "/etc/motd");
    my @lines = capture("cat", "/etc/passwd");

See also L</runx(), systemx() and capturex()> for a variant of
C<capture()> that never invokes the shell, even with a single
argument.

=head2 runx(), systemx() and capturex()

The C<runx()>, C<systemx()> and C<capturex()> commands are identical
to the multi-argument forms of C<run()>, C<system()> and C<capture()>
respectively, but I<never> invoke the shell, even when called with a
single argument.  These forms are particularly useful when a command's
argument list I<might> be empty, for example:

    systemx($cmd, @args);

The use of C<systemx()> here guarantees that the shell will I<never>
be invoked, even if C<@args> is empty.

=head2 Exception handling

In the case where the command returns an unexpected status, both C<run> and
C<capture> will throw an exception, which if not caught will terminate your
program with an error.

Capturing the exception is easy:

    eval {
        run("cat *.txt");
    };

    if ($@) {
        print "Something went wrong - $@\n";
    }

See the diagnostics section below for more details.

=head3 Exception cases

C<IPC::System::Simple> considers the following to be unexpected,
and worthy of exception:

=over 4

=item *

Failing to start entirely (eg, command not found, permission denied).

=item *

Returning an exit value other than zero (but see below).

=item *

Being killed by a signal.

=item *

Being passed tainted data (in taint mode).

=back

=head2 Exit values

Traditionally, system commands return a zero status for success and a
non-zero status for failure.  C<IPC::System::Simple> will default to throwing
an exception if a non-zero exit value is returned.

You may specify a range of values which are considered acceptable exit
values by passing an I<array reference> as the first argument.  The
special constant C<EXIT_ANY> can be used to allow I<any> exit value
to be returned.

	use IPC::System::Simple qw(run system capture EXIT_ANY);

	run( [0..5], "cat *.txt");             # Exit values 0-5 are OK

	system( [0..5], "cat *.txt");          # This works the same way

	my @lines = capture( EXIT_ANY, "cat *.txt"); # Any exit is fine.

The C<run> and replacement C<system> subroutines returns the exit
value of the process:

	my $exit_value = run( [0..5], "cat *.txt");

	# OR:

	my $exit_value = system( [0..5] "cat *.txt");

	print "Program exited with value $exit_value\n";

=head3 $EXITVAL

The exit value of any command executed by C<IPC::System::Simple>
can always be retrieved from the C<$IPC::System::Simple::EXITVAL>
variable:

This is particularly useful when inspecting results from C<capture>,
which returns the captured text from the command.

	use IPC::System::Simple qw(capture $EXITVAL EXIT_ANY);

	my @enemies_defeated = capture(EXIT_ANY, "defeat_evil", "/dev/mordor");

	print "Program exited with value $EXITVAL\n";

C<$EXITVAL> will be set to C<-1> if the command did not exit normally (eg,
being terminated by a signal) or did not start.  In this situation an
exception will also be thrown.

=head2 WINDOWS-SPECIFIC NOTES

As of C<IPC::System::Simple> v0.06, the C<run> subroutine I<when
called with multiple arguments> will make available the full 32-bit
exit value on Win32 systems.  This is different from the
previous versions of C<IPC::System::Simple> and from Perl's
in-build C<system()> function, which can only handle 8-bit return values.

The C<capture> subroutine always returns the 32-bit exit value under
Windows.  The C<capture> subroutine also never uses the shell,
even when passed a single argument.

Versions of C<IPC::System::Simple> before v0.09 would not search
the C<PATH> environment variable when the multi-argument form of
C<run()> was called.  Versions from v0.09 onwards correctly search
the path provided the command is provided including the extension
(eg, C<notepad.exe> rather than just C<notepad>, or C<gvim.bat> rather
than just C<gvim>).  If no extension is provided, C<.exe> is
assumed.

Signals are not supported on Windows systems.  Sending a signal
to a Windows process will usually cause it to exit with the signal
number used.

=head1 DIAGNOSTICS

=over 4

=item "%s" failed to start: "%s"

The command specified did not even start.  It may not exist, or
you may not have permission to use it.  The reason it could not
start (as determined from C<$!>) will be provided.

=item "%s" unexpectedly returned exit value %d

The command ran successfully, but returned an exit value we did
not expect.  The value returned is reported.

=item "%s" died to signal "%s" (%d) %s

The command was killed by a signal.  The name of the signal
will be reported, or C<UNKNOWN> if it cannot be determined.  The
signal number is always reported.  If we detected that the
process dumped core, then the string C<and dumped core> is
appended.

=item IPC::System::Simple::%s called with no arguments

You attempted to call C<run> or C<capture> but did not provide any
arguments at all.  At the very lease you need to supply a command
to run.

=item IPC::System::Simple::%s called with no command

You called C<run> or C<capture> with a list of acceptable exit values,
but no actual command.

=item IPC::System::Simple::%s called with tainted argument "%s"

You called C<run> or C<capture> with tainted (untrusted) arguments, which is
almost certainly a bad idea.  To untaint your arguments you'll need to pass
your data through a regular expression and use the resulting match variables.
See L<perlsec/Laundering and Detecting Tainted Data> for more information.

=item IPC::System::Simple::%s called with tainted environment $ENV{%s}

You called C<run> or C<capture> but part of your environment was tainted
(untrusted).  You should either delete the named environment
variable before calling C<run>, or set it to an untainted value
(usually one set inside your program).  See
L<perlsec/Cleaning Up Your Path> for more information.

=item Error in IPC::System::Simple plumbing: "%s" - "%s"

Implementing the C<capture> command involves dark and terrible magicks
involving pipes, and one of them has sprung a leak.  This could be due to a
lack of file descriptors, although there are other possibilities.

If you are able to reproduce this error, you are encouraged
to submit a bug report according to the L</Reporting bugs> section below.

=item Internal error in IPC::System::Simple: "%s"

You've found a bug in C<IPC::System::Simple>.  Please check to
see if an updated version of C<IPC::System::Simple> is available.
If not, please file a bug report according to the L</Reporting bugs> section
below.

=item IPC::System::Simple::%s called with undefined command

You've passed the undefined value as a command to be executed.
While this is a very Zen-like action, it's not supported by
Perl's current implementation.

=head1 DEPENDENCIES

This module depends upon L<Win32::Process> when used on Win32
system.  C<Win32::Process> is bundled as a core module in ActivePerl 5.6
and above.

There are no non-core dependencies on non-Win32 systems.

=head1 COMPARISON TO OTHER APIs

Perl provides a range of in-built functions for handling external
commands, and CPAN provides even more.  The C<IPC::System::Simple>
differentiates itself from other options by providing:

=item Extremely detailed diagnostics

The diagnostics produced by C<IPC::System::Simple> are designed
to provide as much information as possible.  Rather than requiring
the developer to inspect C<$?>, C<IPC::System::Simple> does the
hard work for you.

If an odd exit status is provided, you're informed of what it is.  If
a signal kills your process, you are informed of both its name and
number.  If tainted data or environment prevents your command from
running, you are informed of exactly which datais 

=item Exceptions on failure

C<IPC::System::Simple> takes an aggressive approach to error handling.
Rather than allow commands to fail silently, exceptions are thrown
when unexpected results are seen.  This allows for easy development
using a try/catch style, and avoids the possibility of accidently
continuing after a failed command.

=item Easy access to exit status

The C<run>, C<system> and C<capture> commands all set C<$EXITVAL>,
making it easy to determine the exit status of a command.
Additionally, the C<system> and C<run> interfaces return the exit
status.

=item Consistent interfaces

When called with multiple arguments, the C<run>, C<system> and
C<capture> interfaces I<never> invoke the shell.  This differs
from the in-built Perl C<system> command which may invoke the
shell under Windows when called with multiple arguments.  It
differs from the in-built Perl backticks operator which always
invokes the shell.

=back

=head1 BUGS

When C<system> is exported, the exotic form C<system { $cmd } @args>
is not supported.  Attemping to use the exotic form is a syntax
error.  This affects the calling package I<only>.  Use C<CORE::system>
if you need it, or consider using the L<autodie> module to replace
C<system> with lexical scope.

Core dumps are only checked for when a process dies due to a
signal.  It is not believed there are any systems where processes
can dump core without dying to a signal.

C<WIFSTOPPED> status is not checked, as perl never spawns processes
with the C<WUNTRACED> option.

Signals are not supported under Win32 systems, since they don't
work at all like Unix signals.  Win32 singals cause commands to
exit with a given exit value, which this modules I<does> capture.

Only 8-bit values are returned when C<run()> or C<system()> 
is called with a single value under Win32.  Multi-argument calls
to C<run()> and C<system()>, as well as the C<runx()> and
C<systemx()> always return the 32-bit Windows return values.
