devel/p5-IPC-Open3-Simple 0.04_1 FreeBSD

IPC::Open3::Simple aims at making it very easy to start a shell command, eventually feed its stdin with some data, then retrieve its stdout and stderr separately.

When you want to run a shell command and parse its stdout/stderr or feed its stdin, you often end up using IPC::Run, IPC::Cmd or IPC::Open3 with your own parsing code, and end up writing more code than you intended. IPC::Open3::Simple is about removing this overhead and making IPC::Open3 easier to use.

IPC::Open3::Simple calls IPC::Open3 and redirects stdin, stdout and stderr to some function references passed in argument to the constructor. It does a select on the input/output filehandles returned by IPC::Open3 and dispatches their content to and from those functions.
