Testing OS Commands

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

Is there a Test harness/module for testing the invocation of OS commands from Perl? I'd like to things like whether a file is in $PATH and whether it is executable

Thanks

... things like whether a file is in $PATH The portable way to obtain a list of the directories in the path is: `@path = File::Spec->path();` [download] Cheers, Rob	[reply] [d/l]
