Re^3: Capturing the stdout and exit code from a program piped to perl

Hi, I tried it on Cygwin (linux/bash emulator under Windows) and AIX (IBM's brand of Unix). This is the message under AIX:

ls  foobar.*  | perl -E ' $return_code = `echo $?`; say scalar $return
+_code;'
ls: cannot access foobar.*: A file or directory in the path name does 
+not exist.

Well, now that I think about it, I translated into English the original message, to make it clearer to the English-speaking reader.
