Re: How to Control Exit Values?

I wanted to build an awesome place for people to discuss module specific issues, but I don't have any more time for this, and there are much better places to discuss Perl-related issues. I'd recommend asking your question on Stack Overflow or on Perl Monks.
If you are looking for a Perl tutorial or Perl-related news, I hope these links will serve you well.

Exception-Class

I notice that the exit value is 0

This doesn't make sense. Exception::Class exits using die(). This results in a non-zero exit status, usually 255. (I tested this to be sure.)

To set your own exit status, you can set a __DIE__ handler and supply exit() with whatever value you want:

$SIG{__DIE__} = sub { print(STDERR @_); exit(99); };
