[Boost-users] Feature for using C++ as script language

   Hi,

   After I discovered Boost, which has regex and filesystem libraries, I 
decided to use C++ for tasks that I usually do with Ruby (a Perl-like 
language), because I know C++ a lot better than other languages. 
However, there's a feature of those languages I miss: the ability to 
call external programs and get the output as a string. Does any of Boost 
libraries (or other free libraries you know) have this capability?

   Thanks,
   Maurício
