How is this an improvement? Is there a better way to Use IPC::Open3 instead of backticks?
It isn't, they're not equivalent, using open3 is like using open, not like using backticks,
as Perl::Critic::Policy::InputOutput::ProhibitBacktickOperators tells it, backticks is more like "capture" from IPC::System::Simple
Capture::Tiny is what you want use Capture::Tiny qw/ capture /;
my @cmd = ( "...ls", 'dir' );
my( $stdout, $stderr, $exit ) = capture {
system { $cmd[0] } @cmd;
};;
$exit and die "it failed with $exit and $stderr ";
Also of interest might be String::ShellQuote/Win32::ShellQuote

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
