Generally in a case like this I use either BEGIN blocks or fully-qualified names, whichever seems appropriate. In this case the latter seems a better fit:
#!/usr/bin/env perl
use strict;
use warnings;
my ( $stdout, $stderr, $errcode );
if (eval { require Capture::Tiny } ) {
print "Using Capture::Tiny\n";
( $stdout, $stderr, $errcode ) = Capture::Tiny::capture( sub {
system "echo Hello, World | cat";
} )
}
elsif (eval { require IPC::Run } ) {
print "Using IPC::Run\n";
no warnings qw{ qw }; # Otherwise Perl complains about the comm
+a
IPC::Run::run(
[ qw{ echo Hello, World } ],
\'',
'|',
[ 'cat' ],
\$stdout, \$stderr );
}
print "STDOUT: $stdout";

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).
