Test the exit status, signal, STDOUT or STDERR of an external command.

## testing terminating signal

## testing STDOUT

=head1 DESCRIPTION
C<Test::Command> intends to bridge the gap between the well tested functions and
objects you choose and their usage in your programs. By examining the exit
status, terminating signal, STDOUT and STDERR of your program you can determine
if it is behaving as expected.
This includes testing the various combinations and permutations of options and
arguments as well as the interactions between the various functions and objects
that make up your program.
The various test functions below can accept either a command string or an
array reference for the first argument. If the command is expressed as a
string it is passed to C<system> as is. If the command is expressed as an
array reference it is dereferenced and passed to C<system> as a list. See
'C<perldoc -f system>' for how these may differ.
The final argument for the test functions, C<$name>, is optional. By default the
C<$name> is a concatenation of the test function name, the command string and
the expected value. This construction is generally sufficient for identifying a
failing test, but you may always specify your own C<$name> if desired.
Any of the test functions can be used as instance methods on a C<Test::Command>
object. This is done by dropping the initial C<$cmd> argument and instead using
arrow notation.
All of the following C<exit_is_num> calls are equivalent.
exit_is_num('true', 0);
exit_is_num('true', 0, 'exit_is_num: true, 0');
exit_is_num(['true'], 0);
exit_is_num(['true'], 0, 'exit_is_num: true, 0');
my $cmd = Test::Command->new( cmd => 'true' );
exit_is_num($cmd, 0);
exit_is_num($cmd, 0, 'exit_is_num: true, 0');
$cmd->exit_is_num(0);
$cmd->exit_is_num(0, 'exit_is_num: true, 0');
$cmd = Test::Command->new( cmd => ['true'] );
exit_is_num($cmd, 0);
exit_is_num($cmd, 0, 'exit_is_num: true, 0');
$cmd->exit_is_num(0);
$cmd->exit_is_num(0, 'exit_is_num: true, 0');
=head1 EXPORT
All of the test functions mentioned below are exported by default.
=head1 METHODS
=head2 new
my $test_cmd_obj = Test::Command->new( cmd => $cmd )
This constructor creates and returns a C<Test::Command> object. Use this to test
multiple aspects of a single command execution while avoiding repeatedly running
commands which are slow or resource intensive.
The C<cmd> parameter can accept either a string or an array reference for its
value. The value is dereferenced if necessary and passed directly to the
C<system> builtin.
=cut
sub new
{
my ($class, @args) = @_;
my $self = bless { @args }, $class;
return $self;
}
=head2 run
$test_cmd_obj->run;
This instance method forces the execution of the command specified by the
invocant.
You only need to call this when you wish to re-run a command since the first
test method invoked will lazily execute the command if necessary. However, if
the state of your inputs has changed and you wish to re-run the command, you may
do so by invoking this method at any point between your tests.

stderr_cmp_ok($cmd, $op, $operand, $name)
If the STDERR of the command is compared with the given operand using
the given operator, and that operation returns true, this passes. Otherwise
it fails.

stderr_is_file($cmd, $exp_file, $name)
If the STDERR of the command is equal (compared using C<eq>) to the contents of
the given file, then this passes. Otherwise it fails. Note that this comparison
is performed line by line, rather than slurping the entire file.

=item * create a tool that produces test scripts given a list of commands to run
=item * optionally save the temp files with STDOUT and STDERR for user debugging
=item * if user defines all options and sample arguments to basic command
=over 3
=item * create tool to enumerate all possible means of calling program
=item * allow testing with randomized/permuted/collapsed opts and args
