Re^2: Problem with exit status of bash script

Thanks, yeah after spitting out the errors codes (always 0) I realized that I wasn't getting the correct codes. I started looking into the "fork" option and just figuring out how to communicate between processes.

do you have any good docs for me to read about IPC in perl? my research so far is leading me into "ALERTING A PROCESS VIA A SIGNAL"

Sure:

Perl documentation has perlipc;
Chapter 15 of the Camel Book¹ is devoted to “Interprocess Communication”; and
the Monastery has a tutorial section devoted to Threads, Multi-Processing, and Inter-Process Communication.

Hope that helps,
