Return Code from Perl

[tlm153]

I have to call a Perl script (doing FTP), how do I check the return code in my Unix script when I return from Perl?

echo Check for file on ftp server.

${Perl}newftpGetSsg.pl ${ftpPrms[*]} ${AplTrgr}

What about the $? builtin ?

Hope This Helps, PH.

as PHV states, $? will have the return code of the last command issued, example:

mount /some_dev /some_mnt_point
echo $?

cheers.

tlm - use the exit() command in your perl script

exit(1)

will return an exit code of 1 when you call your perl script
