## NAME
    [autodie::exception::system](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/autodie%3A%3Aexception%3A%3Asystem/markdown) - Exceptions from autodying system().

## SYNOPSIS
        eval {
            use autodie qw(system);

            system($cmd, @args);

        };

        if (my $E = $@) {
            say "Ooops!  ",$E->caller," had problems: $@";
        }

## DESCRIPTION
    This is a [autodie::exception](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/autodie%3A%3Aexception/markdown) class for failures from the "system" command.

    Presently there is no way to interrogate an "[autodie::exception::system](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/autodie%3A%3Aexception%3A%3Asystem/markdown)" object for the command,
    exit status, and other information you'd expect such an object to hold. The interface will be
    expanded to accommodate this in the future.

  stringify
    When stringified, "[autodie::exception::system](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/autodie%3A%3Aexception%3A%3Asystem/markdown)" objects currently use the message generated by
    [IPC::System::Simple](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/IPC%3A%3ASystem%3A%3ASimple/markdown).
