I guess what I'm saying is that if you want to limit the modules that
Perl script uses, you end up either impacting on the portability of the
script or rediscovering problems with early wheel designs.

IPC::Open{2,3} seem to be installed on every system I have access to.

Checking in Module::CoreList, that module goes right back to the Perl 
5.0 release, so every normal Perl 5 distribution should have it.
