Remove Shell from the core distribution. Get it from CPAN now.

This reinstates 28d302d426b73ed7, which was reverted by c9a0cae924d6331f,
because Shell.pm was missing its deprecation warning in 5.12. (Minor changes
subsequently mean that c9a0cae924d6331f as-is can't be reverted).

The entry in perldelta.pod has to to be C<Shell> because L<Shell> would be a
broken link, and fail t/porting/podcheck.t. Change the removal notice for
Devel::DProf from L<> to C<> to be consistent. L<Devel::DProf> *isn't* a
podchecker error - presumably the "=head2 Devel::DProf" in perlperf.pod is seen
as the valid link target.

-=head1 NAME
-
-Shell - run shell commands transparently within perl
-
-=head1 SYNOPSIS
-
-   use Shell qw(cat ps cp);
-   $passwd = cat('</etc/passwd');
-   @pslines = ps('-ww'),
-   cp("/etc/passwd", "/tmp/passwd");
-
-   # object oriented 
-   my $sh = Shell->new;
-   print $sh->ls('-l');
-
-=head1 DESCRIPTION
-
-=head2 Caveats
-
-This package is included as a show case, illustrating a few Perl features.
-It shouldn't be used for production programs. Although it does provide a 
-simple interface for obtaining the standard output of arbitrary commands,
-there may be better ways of achieving what you need.
-
-Running shell commands while obtaining standard output can be done with the
-C<qx/STRING/> operator, or by calling C<open> with a filename expression that
-ends with C<|>, giving you the option to process one line at a time.
-If you don't need to process standard output at all, you might use C<system>
-(in preference of doing a print with the collected standard output).
-
-Since Shell.pm and all of the aforementioned techniques use your system's
-shell to call some local command, none of them is portable across different 
-systems. Note, however, that there are several built in functions and 
-library packages providing portable implementations of functions operating
-on files, such as: C<glob>, C<link> and C<unlink>, C<mkdir> and C<rmdir>, 
-C<rename>, C<File::Compare>, C<File::Copy>, C<File::Find> etc.
-
-Using Shell.pm while importing C<foo> creates a subroutine C<foo> in the
-namespace of the importing package. Calling C<foo> with arguments C<arg1>,
-C<arg2>,... results in a shell command C<foo arg1 arg2...>, where the 
-function name and the arguments are joined with a blank. (See the subsection 
-on Escaping magic characters.) Since the result is essentially a command
-line to be passed to the shell, your notion of arguments to the Perl
-function is not necessarily identical to what the shell treats as a
-command line token, to be passed as an individual argument to the program.
-Furthermore, note that this implies that C<foo> is callable by file name
-only, which frequently depends on the setting of the program's environment.
-
-Creating a Shell object gives you the opportunity to call any command
-in the usual OO notation without requiring you to announce it in the
-C<use Shell> statement. Don't assume any additional semantics being
-associated with a Shell object: in no way is it similar to a shell
-process with its environment or current working directory or any
-other setting.
-
-=head2 Escaping Magic Characters
-
-It is, in general, impossible to take care of quoting the shell's
-magic characters. For some obscure reason, however, Shell.pm quotes
-apostrophes (C<'>) and backslashes (C<\>) on UNIX, and spaces and
-quotes (C<">) on Windows.
-
-=head2 Configuration
-
-If you set $Shell::capture_stderr to 1, the module will attempt to
-capture the standard error output of the process as well. This is
-done by adding C<2E<gt>&1> to the command line, so don't try this on
-a system not supporting this redirection.
-
-Setting $Shell::capture_stderr to -1 will send standard error to the
-bit bucket (i.e., the equivalent of adding C<2E<gt>/dev/null> to the
-command line).  The same caveat regarding redirection applies.
-
-If you set $Shell::raw to true no quoting whatsoever is done.
-
-=head1 BUGS
-
-Quoting should be off by default.
-
-It isn't possible to call shell built in commands, but it can be
-done by using a workaround, e.g. shell( '-c', 'set' ).
-
-Capturing standard error does not work on some systems (e.g. VMS).

-  Date: Thu, 22 Sep 94 16:18:16 -0700
-  Message-Id: <9409222318.AA17072@scalpel.netlabs.com>
-  To: perl5-porters@isu.edu
-  From: Larry Wall <lwall@scalpel.netlabs.com>
-  Subject: a new module I just wrote
-
-Here's one that'll whack your mind a little out.
-
-    #!/usr/bin/perl
-
-    use Shell;
-
-    $foo = echo("howdy", "<funny>", "world");
-    print $foo;
-
-    $passwd = cat("</etc/passwd");
-    print $passwd;
-
-    sub ps;
-    print ps -ww;
-
-    cp("/etc/passwd", "/etc/passwd.orig");
-
-That's maybe too gonzo.  It actually exports an AUTOLOAD to the current
-package (and uncovered a bug in Beta 3, by the way).  Maybe the usual
-usage should be
-
-    use Shell qw(echo cat ps cp);
-
-Larry Wall
-
-Changes by Jenda@Krynicky.cz and Dave Cottle <d.cottle@csc.canterbury.ac.nz>.
-
-Changes for OO syntax and bug fixes by Casey West <casey@geeknest.com>.
-
-C<$Shell::raw> and pod rewrite by Wolfgang Laun.
-
-Rewritten to use closures rather than C<eval "string"> by Adriano Ferreira.
