It would be awesome if this module used the Chef server API, but this module is not that awesome. Some things worth knowing about this module: - Return vaules All commands return the output of the knife command. - Logging If you wish to log output, you should do so via the 'callback' attribute. See Shell::Carapace for more details. - Exceptions If a knife command fails, an exception is thrown. # SEE ALSO - [Capture::Tiny::Extended](https://metacpan.org/pod/Capture::Tiny::Extended) - [Capture::Tiny](https://metacpan.org/pod/Capture::Tiny) - [IPC::System::Simple](https://metacpan.org/pod/IPC::System::Simple) # LICENSE This library is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the same terms as Perl itself. # AUTHOR Eric Johnson
