Re^4: Adjusting variable context when workign with JSON data?

IPC::System::Simple is used by use autodie qw( system );, ~~so it's bundled with Perl since autodie's creation in 5.10.1~~, and I suspect it was written for it.

Turns out IPC::System::Simple ISN'T a core modure, even though it's used by core module autodie. `use autodie qw( system );` fails if IPC::System::Simple isn't installed. `$ perl -e'use autodie qw( system );' IPC::System::Simple required for Fatalised/autodying system() at -e li +ne 1 BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at -e line 1.` [download] That's why `use autodie;` aka `use autodie qw( :default );` doesn't include `use autodie qw( system );`. That's a huge wtf, especially considering the usefulness of what the module provides: It provides alternatives to questionably-designed builtin functions.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

$ perl -e'use autodie qw( system );'

That's why use autodie; aka use autodie qw( :default ); doesn't include use autodie qw( system );.
