Perl UNIX/Linux API

[neilsolent]

I am looing for Perl code to replace common UNIX/Linux functions.
For example, is there a Perl equivalent of the "df" command - that can
be used
to get filesystem information in a standard way across UNIX & Linux
platforms?

I am looing for Perl code

Now _that_ is an unfortunate typo...

to replace common UNIX/Linux functions.

http://use.perl.org/~cwest/journal/20025

http://search.cpan.org/dist/ppt/

http://ppt.sourceforge.net/


Though rather oldish, and I don't see "df" listed there.

A more recent sighting:

and the OP didn't search cpan which has modules for most/all of those
common unix utilities. these showed up when i searched for df:

Filesys:f
Filesys:iskSpace
Filesys:iskFree

Thanks for the replies.
I did check CPAN actually, but I wasn't directly searching for df at
the time - that was just one example.
I was hoping to stumble across a whole library of tools - looks like
ppt is the most likely answer.
