I liked the idea and didn't like the fact that it doesn't work under
windows :-)
BTW, I have a version that does allow you to specify the path. And
even whether you want to capture STDERR or wait for the process
to complete :
use Shell dir => 'dir !';
$res = dir 'c:\this_does_not_exist';
or
use Shell edit => 'c:\soft\wscite\scite.exe&';
$pid = edit( $pathtofile);
It is not complete yet, not tested under anything but Win2k and I'm
not sure it'll be accepted.

There is a reason for living. There must be. I've seen it somewhere.
It's just that in the mess on my table ... and in my brain.
I can't find it.
