libipc-system-simple-perl 1.26-1 (amd64 binary) in ubuntu groovy

 IPC::System::Simple takes the hard work out of calling external commands; it
 provides replacements for system() and the backtick operator that will either
 succeed, or die with rich diagnostic messages on errors.
 .
 The module also includes the ability to specify acceptable exit values, trap
 errors, or process diagnostics.
