It may just be an example, but this handler doesn't create a unique
file; it may get stomped my multiple invokations.
Why not
open(DATA, join(' ', $cmd, @params, '|') || croak "$cmd failed: $? $!\n";
if you're trying to avoid generating a text file.
I wrote the System2 module to get STDERR and STDOUT returned in
scalars (and avoid the Bourne shell); see if that'd be useful for
you...
my ($out, $err) = system2(@args);
Are you checking on the exit status of your command?
my ($exit_value, $signal_num, $dumped_core) = &System2::exit_status($?)?
Good luck...
