I have a ksh script on Sun Solaris. We are running 5.10.0 of Perl. I have no control over this. The ksh script calls a perl program which recursively goes through a series of directories to get all of the data that has not been posted. I did not write this nor have I had a lot of experience with perl as that is not our main programming language here. The way the program is written is if the login fails it still returns a 0 error code even with a die statement, or at least the ksh script thinks it does and continues. I need to be able to have the perl program send a 0 or 1 to the ksh script to know whether to continue or not. Any idea's or examples would be greatly appreciated.
Best Regards
Michael Gould

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
