Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist * Package name : libproc-reliable Version : 1.16 Upstream Author : Dan Goldwater <dg...@zblob.com> * URL : http://search.cpan.org/dist/Proc-Reliable/Reliable.pm * License : same as Perl Programming Lang: Perl Description : run external processes reliably with many options
Proc::Reliable is a class for simple, reliable and configurable subprocess execution in Perl. In particular, it is especially useful for managing the execution of 'problem' programs which are likely to fail, hang, or otherwise behave in an unruly manner.
Proc::Reliable includes all the functionality of the backtick operator and system() functions, plus many common uses of fork() and exec(), open2() and open3(). Proc::Reliable incorporates a number of options, including sending data to the subprocess on STDIN, collecting STDOUT and STDERR separately or together, killing hung processes, timeouts and automatic retries.
