NAME
   System2 - like system(), but with STDERR available as well

SYNOPSIS
     use System2;

     $System2::debug++;

     my ($out, $err) = system2(@args);
     my ($exit_value, $signal_num, $dumped_core) = &System2::exit_status($?);

     print "EXIT: exit_value $exit_value signal_num ".
           "$signal_num dumped_core $dumped_core\n";

     print "OUT:\n$out";
     print "ERR:\n$err"

DESCRIPTION
   Execute a command, and returns output from STDOUT and STDERR. Much like
   system(). $? is set. (Much cheaper than using open3() to get the same
   info.)

   If $debug is set, on-the fly diagnostics will be reported about how much
   data is being read.

   Provides for convienence, a routine exit_status() to break out the exit
   value into:

     - the exit value of the subprocess
     - which signal, if any, the process died from
     - reports whether there was a core dump.

   All right from perlvar(1), so no surprises.

CAVEATS
   Although I've been using this module for literally years now personally,
   consider it lightly tested, until I get feedback from the public at
   large.

   Have at it.
