+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+IPC::Cmd allows you to run commands, interactively if desired,
+platform independent but have them still work.
+
+The C<can_run> function can tell you if a certain binary is installed
+and if so where, whereas the C<run> function can actually execute any
+of the commands you give it and give you a clear return value, as well
+as adhere to your verbosity settings.
+
+=head1 CLASS METHODS
+
+=head2 $bool = IPC::Cmd->can_use_ipc_run( [VERBOSE] )
+
+Utility function that tells you if C<IPC::Run> is available.
+If the verbose flag is passed, it will print diagnostic messages
+if C<IPC::Run> can not be found or loaded.

+=head1 FUNCTIONS
+
+=head2 $path = can_run( PROGRAM );
+
+C<can_run> takes but a single argument: the name of a binary you wish
+to locate. C<can_run> works much like the unix binary C<which> or the bash
+command C<type>, which scans through your path, looking for the requested
+binary .
+
+Unlike C<which> and C<type>, this function is platform independent and
+will also work on, for example, Win32.
+
+It will return the full path to the binary you asked for if it was
+found, or C<undef> if it was not.
+
+=cut
+
+sub can_run {
+ my $command = shift;
+
+ # a lot of VMS executables have a symbol defined
+ # check those first
+ if ( $^O eq 'VMS' ) {
+ require VMS::DCLsym;
+ my $syms = VMS::DCLsym->new;
+ return $command if scalar $syms->getsym( uc $command );
+ }
+
+ require Config;
+ require File::Spec;
+ require ExtUtils::MakeMaker;
+
+ if( File::Spec->file_name_is_absolute($command) ) {
+ return MM->maybe_command($command);
+
+ } else {
+ for my $dir (
+ (split /\Q$Config::Config{path_sep}\E/, $ENV{PATH}),
+ File::Spec->curdir
+ ) {
+ my $abs = File::Spec->catfile($dir, $command);
+ return $abs if $abs = MM->maybe_command($abs);
+ }
+ }
+}
+
+=head2 $ok | ($ok, $err, $full_buf, $stdout_buff, $stderr_buff) = run( command => COMMAND, [verbose => BOOL, buffer => \$SCALAR] );
+
+C<run> takes 3 arguments:
+
+=over 4
+
+=item command
+
+This is the command to execute. It may be either a string or an array
+reference.
+This is a required argument.
+
+See L<CAVEATS> for remarks on how commands are parsed and their
+limitations.
+
+=item verbose
+
+This controls whether all output of a command should also be printed
+to STDOUT/STDERR or should only be trapped in buffers (NOTE: buffers
+require C<IPC::Run> to be installed or your system able to work with
+C<IPC::Open3>).
+
+It will default to the global setting of C<$IPC::Cmd::VERBOSE>,
+which by default is 0.
+
+=item buffer
+
+This will hold all the output of a command. It needs to be a reference
+to a scalar.
+Note that this will hold both the STDOUT and STDERR messages, and you
+have no way of telling which is which.
+If you require this distinction, run the C<run> command in list context
+and inspect the individual buffers.
+
+Of course, this requires that the underlying call supports buffers. See
+the note on buffers right above.
+
+=back
+
+C<run> will return a simple C<true> or C<false> when called in scalar
+context.
+In list context, you will be returned a list of the following items:
+
+=over 4
+
+=item success
+
+A simple boolean indicating if the command executed without errors or
+not.
+
+=item errorcode
+
+If the first element of the return value (success) was 0, then some
+error occurred. This second element is the error code the command
+you requested exited with, if available.
+
+=item full_buffer
+
+This is an arrayreference containing all the output the command
+generated.
+Note that buffers are only available if you have C<IPC::Run> installed,
+or if your system is able to work with C<IPC::Open3> -- See below).
+This element will be C<undef> if this is not the case.
+
+=item out_buffer
+
+This is an arrayreference containing all the output sent to STDOUT the
+command generated.
+Note that buffers are only available if you have C<IPC::Run> installed,
+or if your system is able to work with C<IPC::Open3> -- See below).
+This element will be C<undef> if this is not the case.
+
+=item error_buffer
+
+This is an arrayreference containing all the output sent to STDERR the
+command generated.
+Note that buffers are only available if you have C<IPC::Run> installed,
+or if your system is able to work with C<IPC::Open3> -- See below).
+This element will be C<undef> if this is not the case.
+

+
+See the C<HOW IT WORKS> Section below to see how C<IPC::Cmd> decides
+what modules or function calls to use when issuing a command.

+=head1 HOW IT WORKS
+
+C<run> will try to execute your command using the following logic:
+
+=over 4
+
+=item *
+
+If you have C<IPC::Run> installed, and the variable C<$IPC::Cmd::USE_IPC_RUN>
+is set to true (See the C<GLOBAL VARIABLES> Section) use that to execute
+the command. You will have the full output available in buffers, interactive commands are sure to work and you are guaranteed to have your verbosity
+settings honored cleanly.
+
+=item *
+
+Otherwise, if the variable C<$IPC::Cmd::USE_IPC_OPEN3> is set to true
+(See the C<GLOBAL VARIABLES> Section), try to execute the command using
+C<IPC::Open3>. Buffers will be available on all platforms except C<Win32>,
+interactive commands will still execute cleanly, and also your verbosity
+settings will be adhered to nicely;
+
+=item *
+
+Otherwise, if you have the verbose argument set to true, we fall back
+to a simple system() call. We cannot capture any buffers, but
+interactive commands will still work.
+
+=item *
+
+Otherwise we will try and temporarily redirect STDERR and STDOUT, do a
+system() call with your command and then re-open STDERR and STDOUT.
+This is the method of last resort and will still allow you to execute
+your commands cleanly. However, no buffers will be available.
+
+=back
+
+=head1 Global Variables
+
+The behaviour of IPC::Cmd can be altered by changing the following
+global variables:
+
+=head2 $IPC::Cmd::VERBOSE
+
+This controls whether IPC::Cmd will print any output from the
+commands to the screen or not. The default is 0;
+
+=head2 $IPC::Cmd::USE_IPC_RUN
+
+This variable controls whether IPC::Cmd will try to use L<IPC::Run>
+when available and suitable. Defaults to true if you are on C<Win32>.
+
+=head2 $IPC::Cmd::USE_IPC_OPEN3
+
+This variable controls whether IPC::Cmd will try to use L<IPC::Open3>
+when available and suitable. Defaults to true.
+
+=head2 $IPC::Cmd::WARN
+
+This variable controls whether run time warnings should be issued, like
+the failure to load an C<IPC::*> module you explicitly requested.
+
+Defaults to true. Turn this off at your own risk.
+
+=head1 Caveats
+
+=over 4
+
+=item Whitespace
+
+When you provide a string as this argument, the string will be
+split on whitespace to determine the individual elements of your
+command. Although this will usually just Do What You Mean, it may
+break if you have files or commands with whitespace in them.
+
+If you do not wish this to happen, you should provide an array
+reference, where all parts of your command are already separated out.
+Note however, if there's extra or spurious whitespace in these parts,
+the parser or underlying code may not interpret it correctly, and
+cause an error.
+
+Example:
+The following code
+
+ gzip -cdf foo.tar.gz | tar -xf -
+
+should either be passed as
