Hi!

Description: Perl module to run commands simply, with detailed diagnostics
Calling Perl's in-built system() function is easy,
determining if it was successful is hard.
.
IPC::System::Simple takes the hard work out of calling external commands; all
of your system() commands will either succeeed (run to completion and return
a zero exit value), or die with rich diagnostic messages.
#v-
The long description could do with some improvement, first of all
"in-built" isn't really an english word TTBOMK, builtin is the standard
writing of it. Additionally the additional paragraph in between is a bit
confusing because the first paragraph doesn't say much about the package
but should because it's usually the most important part about the
package.
Hope you consider this comment as helpful as its meant. Thanks. :)
