Hi Ron,
Ah, judging from the subject I thought *you* are the one providing patches :)
For 1) and 2) I'm going to include only modules which are related to fixing/improving on the interface of system(), like IPC::System::Simple. There are loads of other modules providing extra functionality that system() doesn't provide, like capturing output (Capture::Tiny, IPC::Run, IPC::Cmd), timeouts, and so on. These will not be included because the scope is too wide. Except Proc::Govern, which I mention specifically because I'm planning to adopt the interface of Sys::Run::Safer in that module.
As for 3), I'm not seeing 'progs' anywhere in the module, blog post, or git history.
Regards,
