NAME

PerlX::bash - tighter integration between Perl and bash

VERSION

This document describes version 0.02 of PerlX::bash.

SYNOPSIS

# put all instances of Firefox to sleep
foreach (bash \lines => "pgrep firefox")
{
	bash "kill -STOP $_" or die("can't spawn `kill`!");
}

# count lines in $file
local $@;
eval { bash \string => -e => "wc -l $file" };
die("can't spawn `wc`!") if $@;

# can capture actual exit status
my $status = bash "grep -e $pattern $file >$tmpfile";
die("`grep` had an error!") if $status == 2;

STATUS

This module is an experiment. It's fun to play around with, and I welcome suggestions and contributions. However, don't rely on this in production code (yet).

Further documentation will be forthcoming, hopefully soon.

SUPPORT

Bugs / Feature Requests

This module is on GitHub. Feel free to fork and submit patches. Please note that I develop via TDD (Test-Driven Development), so a patch that includes a failing test is much more likely to get accepted (or at least likely to get accepted more quickly).

If you just want to report a problem or suggest a feature, that's okay too. You can create an issue on GitHub here: http://github.com/barefootcoder/perlx-bash/issues.
