Shell::Autobox - pipe Perl values through shell commands
use Shell::Autobox qw(xmllint);
my $xml = '<foo bar="baz"><bar /><baz /></foo>';
my $pretty = $xml->xmllint('--format -');Shell::Autobox provides an easy way to pipe Perl values through shell commands.
Commands passed as arguments to the use Shell::Autobox statement are
installed as subroutines in the calling package, and that package is then
registered as the handler for methods called on strings, numbers or arrayrefs.
When a registered command is called as a method, the value is passed as the command's standard input, additional arguments are passed to the command, and — if no error occurs — the command's standard output is returned. This can then be piped into other commands.
The registered methods can also be called as regular functions, e.g.:
use Shell::Autobox qw(cut);
my $bar = cut('foo:bar:baz', '-d:', '-f2');None by default.
