OS Commands from PL/SQL?

What is the "Best" way to issue a UNIX OS command from withing PL/SQL? Looks like DBMS_PIPE in combo with a shell script running in the background. This way you can exec any OS command. This approach, although functional, seems like a cheap hack. Isn't there a better way to do this? I'm just a guy tryin' to call ./Mail from a PL/SQL program.
Thanks in advance,
Pete K.
