+System::Sub provides in your package a sub that wraps the call to an
+external program. The return value is line(s) dependending on context
+(wantarray).
+This may be what you need if you want to run external commands as
+easily as from a Unix shell script but with a perl-ish feel
+(contextual output). So this is not a universal module for running
+external programs (like IPC::Run) but instead a simpler interface for
+a common style of external programs.
