Which module to deal with external program execution?

Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi, my Perl script will continuously fork a process and execute external programs, and will capture output/error, exit status and so on.
Instead of `fork` and `system`, is there any nice module help me handle it?

I've had good results with Proc::Fork which makes forking easier, and IPC::System::Simple which does the same for system.	[reply]
