Run version 0.07
================

Starts programs with redirections, without a shell, on systems with fork
and on systems with a native spawn but no fork (Win32, OS/2, VMS):

  spawn LIST         like the builtin system, but in the background: the pid
  command trees      new_system, new_and, new_or, new_chain, new_pipeline,
                     new_pipe, new_readpipe, new_env, new_redir: run as sh
                     would run the same command line (use Run ':NEW')
  Run::start         one program with a list of redirections, the layer the
                     others are built on (used by Proc::Spawner where there is
                     neither posix_spawn nor fork)

Where there is no fork, the redirections are applied in this process around
the spawn and put back after.  Those code paths can be run and tested on Unix
too ($Run::Forkless; $Run::AsWin32 for the Win32 ones).  See the POD (perldoc
Run) for the details and the limits.

Tested on Linux (Perl 5.38), and on Win32 under Wine with Strawberry Perl
5.38.2.  OS/2 and VMS are not tested.
