I don't know how it happened, but the Sudo.pm is wrong, this code is wrong :

%ret = {
         'error' => (sprintf 'Error: the sudo binary "%s" is not set t
+o group id = 0',$sudo)
       };
       return \%ret;

So I changed manually the code to return the correct info like this:

$ret = {
         'error' => (sprintf 'Error: the sudo binary "%s" is not set t
+o group id = 0',$sudo)
       };
       return $ret;

Now it is giving me the correct error information. But the actual script seems to be not running. Here is the test.sh file info :

echo hello
echo something >> /tmp/testfile

I haven't seen hello in the display OR the file /tmp/testfile has not been created. The "result" code is 256, what does it mean.

RETURN VALUES Upon successful execution of a program, the return value from sudo will simply be the return value of the program that was executed. Otherwise, sudo quits with an exit value of 1 if there is a configuration/permission problem or if sudo cannot execute the given command.
