A Perl newbie asks :
1. If an application program invoked from Perl abends, is there a Perl system variable I can check to determine
the type of abend (eg zero-divide etc) ?

2. Cobol and C allow an application program to RETURN
a value to indicate un/successful completion.
How can I check this value in Perl ?

Thankyou.
