IPC::Run3 for testing binaries

This is an example of a Perl script which uses IPC::Run3 and Test::More to run a test on a C binary program. The binary here is called j2e.cgi and this tries to run it with a command-line option of the form -q word=%E3%81%95%E3%82%8B, as in

j2e.cgi -q word=%E3%81%95%E3%82%8B
