[Catalyst] CLI execution

[Kieren Diment]

we use system calls for quite a few operations.  It works well in the conte=
xt of our application.  Just be sure to use IPC::System::Simple for proper =
error handling.  I'm fond of using File::Temp and JSON or YAML encoding for=
 shuttling data around different processes, but others may have different i=
deas.
