Title: Run commands simply, with detailed diagnostics

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

'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 'system' commands will either succeed (run to completion
and return a zero exit value), or die with rich diagnostic messages.

The '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 the /capture() manpage 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 '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!
