The following module was proposed for inclusion in the Module List:
modid: Proc::Command
DSLIP: Rdphb
description: backtick that does not use the shell
userid: SOFTDIA (Samson Monaco Tutankhamen)
chapterid: 4 (Operating_System_Interfaces)
communities:
similar:
Proc::SafePipe
rationale:
Some Perls under Microsoft windows suffers disabilities over Unix
Perls. One particular disability is a backtick without the console.
Altough the Microsoft console, may be started without a window
(start command with /b option or spawn program call), the Perl
system command on windows usually creates a window. Creating a
window causes immense user interface problem since it will randomly
pop-up and take focus over the current window, erasing current
entries into that window. Solutions such as "Proc::SafePipe" do not
run on Perls for Window.
This module provides an answer by using the "open" command with a
pipe to provide a backtick without a console that will run under
Perls on Microsoft Windows.
