), exec, and modules such as IPC::Open3; understanding when to use each approach — for example, system for straightforward command execution, backticks to capture output, and IPC::Open3 for more complex input/output control — enables developers to build powerful automation scripts that integrate with other tools, handle errors properly, and perform tasks like file manipulation, process control, and data processing efficiently within real-world workflows.
