I've run into the exact same problem when coding CPANPLUS, and that's  
where
IPC::Cmd spawned from. For our purposes (running shell commands cross  
platform,
interactively, while capturing both output & exit code), it's worked  
pretty
well...

For EU::MM, it probably has too many prereqs, but it might still be an
interesting bit of code to look at.
