Personally, I would pick yet another different approach: call the
function "run", but export it as "prun". When qualified with
Parallel::Simple::, even the very short "run" identifier is clear
and unambiguous. When exported, however, a simple "run" is more
likely to clash than "prun" and might be harder to search the
source for too.

Note that this is how exporting works -- the only difference is
that the left and right hand side of the assignment refer to
symbols in different packages. So there's a sort of natural
precedent for my preference of exporting with a longer name...

Surely you mean
perldoc -f system
? :)
