Capturing both STDOUT, STDERR and exit status

[pbeckingham]

I would like to run an external command, and capture the STDOUT, STDERR and the exit status of that command. This will run on *nix, so for example, I can do this:

  my $status = system '/bin/ls / > /tmp/output 2>&1';

This will give me the exit status, and allow me to slurp the output. But I am wondering if anyone knows a way for me to do both at the same time. If only IPC::Open3 gave me a way to capture the exit status.
