Re: Using IPC::Open3 instead of backtick operator

The core module IO::Pipe is easy to use and works on both Linux and MS Windows. However, it doesn't handle STDERR.

The reader and writer methods expect a program to run and a list of arguments. The shell is not used.

#!perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use IO::Pipe;

my $pipe = IO::Pipe->new();
$pipe->reader(qw(ls -l));
while(<$pipe>) {
    ...
}

This is the equivalent of doing `no warnings;`. It simply silences the message without addressing the issue (preventing error log from being filled with child's STDERR output). If your goal is simply to circumvent `perlcritic`, it provides far better ways of doing that.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

True. Is basically a somewhat safer way to accomplish what `qx` or backticks do. My answer was more for completeness.	[reply] [d/l]
