in reply to Last Result/exit code for Scheduled Tasks

Look at system.

...
You can check all the failure possibilities by inspecting $?
like this:

if ($? == -1) {
     print "failed to execute: $!\n";
}
elsif ($? & 127) {
     printf "child died with signal %d, %s coredump\n",
        ($? & 127),  ($? & 128) ? 'with' : 'without';
}
else {
    printf "child exited with value %d\n", $? >> 8;
}
