As mentioned in http://lists.parrot.org/pipermail/parrot-
dev/2009-April/002067.html, we need some way to be able to run a
subprocess and capture its output, similar to Perl 5's backticks.
From today's #parrotsketch:
{{{
19:22 <pmichaud> (2) ability to run processes and capture the output --
immediate need for qx{ } and friends
19:23 <allison> you mean like perl 'system'?
19:23 <pmichaud> yes, or perl 5 backticks
19:23 <moritz> no, like perl's backticks
19:23 <pmichaud> we have 'system' already
19:23 <moritz> system in perl 5 doesn't capture the output
19:23 <pmichaud> (it's called 'run')
19:25 <allison> pmichaud: okay, backticks are the I/O pipe functionality,
which does need fixing. IIRC, you have a ticket in for that?
If not, put one in and make me owner. Would be nice to have that
working for 1.2.
19:25 <pmichaud> I will make sure there's a ticket with your name on it.
}}}

Thanks,
