The code I'm using comes in two parts. The general function for running source safe commands is:
sub PerformSS {
my $self = shift;
my ($cmdArg) = @_;
my $cmd = "ss " . $cmdArg;
my $status = 0;
if ($self->doSS) {
$status = system("$cmd 1>>$errorfile 2>&1");
$self->checkError($status, "PerformSS $cmd failed $status $!");
$self->trace("--- completed $cmd ---\n");
} else {
$self->trace("--- PerformSS did not $cmd ---\n");
}
return $status;
}
The call I am trying to use to fetch by label from source safe is:
$status = $self->PerformSS("get \$/project -R -I-Y -V\"$label\""
+);
Note that checkError issues the error message and some addition supporting information if $status is not zero.
On the other hand, the following code works just fine, which is why I had omitted the code in my original posting. The question I have is still... is there something special or different about how the fetch by label returns?
$status = $self->PerformSS("get \$/project -R -I-Y");

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).
