<blockquote><i>there definitely shouldn't be any recommendation or encouragement to use sys functions.</i></blockquote>
I think I should add why: people already get confused by strings in Perl, and the way you wrote it, they might think using <c>sys</c> funcs might be a solution to [id://1151377|corrupted characters] and other such things, which is not the case and Perl's documentation shouldn't imply that... it's already confusing enough, unfortunately.
