  Description     : Run commands simply, with detailed diagnostics.

Calling Perl's in-built system() function is easy, determining if it  
was successful is hard.
Let's face it, $? isn't the nicest variable in the world to play with,
and even if you do check it, producing a well-formatted error string  
takes a lot of work.

IPC::System::Simple takes the hard work out of calling external  
commands.
