Hallo everyone,
I have a perl script which can return error codes. I have done this with, for example, 'exit 11;', which would (I imagine) send the exit code 11 (instead of 0) back to the calling program.
I would now like to check that my error codes are being returned correctly and so wanted to write a short script to test this. Here I considered using the following ...
$checkexitcode = system ("perl myscript.pl");
but believe that this will simply catch the return/exit code from 'system' or from 'perl' and not the return code from 'myscript.pl'.
Can anyone help me with this? Maybe you already have a simple script to test for return codes?
Many thanks,
Alan Searle.

see die() instead of exit();

As miller specified your answer is in the following link,
http://perldoc.perl.or g/functions/system.html
$checkexitcode = system ("perl myscript.pl");
You were right. In the above command $checkexitcode is the return code from the system and not the exit code of myscript.pl
To get the return code of myscript.pl you should shift system exit code to right by 8. I mean "$checkexit code >> 8" will give you the exit code from the myscript.pl.
Also "$?" is same as $checkexitcode. So you can also use "$?>>8" to get the exit code of script that you are executing

As far as I can tell, the standard has defined three portable return
codes from function main() (0, EXIT_SUCCESS, EXIT_FAILURE). Personally,
on all platforms I have worked with, EXIT_SUCCESS is, "#define
EXIT_SUCCESS 0" and EXIT_FAILURE is, "#define EXIT_FAILURE 1". I have,
however, been told that a few platforms define the two in reverse
(#define EXIT_SUCCESS 1 and #define EXIT_FAILURE 0). If this is true, I
would expect that it would...

I have heard that return -1 is not portable. So what would be the answer
to portability in this case? What about exit(0) and exit (-1) or exit (1)?
Or would it be best to stick with C's macros, hence:
exit(EXIT_FAILURE)
exit (EXIT_SUCCESS)

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
