I know `` went through quite an overhaul between 5.6 and 5.8. A lot of
common, Unixy things are emulated on non-Unix systems like >>, >, < and 2>&1.
My question is how wide-spread is this in 5.8.x and bleadperl? Who has it
and who doesn't?
The problem I'm trying to solve is to write a cross platform version this:
my $dist_test_out = `$make disttest`;
for testing MakeMaker that *also* captures STDERR inline with STDOUT. ie.
my $dist_test_out = `$make disttest 2>&1`;
I know it'll work in some places under bleadperl, but not all. I need to
know on what non-Unix systems it will and won't work.
