Sounds good. Also include examples of the right way to do
$output=qx/command/<<EOF
input
EOF
instead of
$output=qx/command<<EOF
input
EOF
/

and
[I have no idea]
instead of
$output=qx/echo $input|command/
i.e., how to input small things to qx without disrupting other parts
of the program or relying on /bin/sh constructions to get the input
connected.
