Capture::Tiny

See also Dave Golden's talk on Capturing output

The Asynchronously in your heading is misleading as you don't actually appear to want that at all

    Mmm. Asynchronous is perhaps not 100% correct but it's not as simple as do one thing, then do something else. I want to fire the main code at one point (filterd), do something(fire filtqmail), and then check the main program's output. I can't fire the code and capture its output and THEN prod it into motion, which at least from an initial read is what it looks like Capture::Tiny does. While it's interesting and probably a useful thing for me to know about in the future I'm not sure that it accomplishes what I need it to. So far the best answer has been a file handle to the output so I can check it when I want to.

    That said the link on Dave Golden's talk was awesome. Thanks for that.
