Penguin Module question

m00se has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Gday, I am trying to extract return codes upon instantiating a penguin trivial client object and then running it. My code is as follows:

$penguinclient = new Penguin::Trivial::Client Code => $codetosend,
                                          Host => $host,
                                          Port => $port,
                                          Password => $password,
                                          Title => $title,
                                          Name => $name;

undef $blah;

$blah = $penguinclient->run();
[download]

$blah always seems to '1', whether it fails or succeeds...and this is most unhelpful to the cause... Any ideas/suggestions/criticisms would be most appreciated.
thanks, m00se

I've never used the Penguin modules, but I remember reading The Penguin Module which made it sound like it had fallen out of favor, and isn't currently being maintained. -Blake	[reply]

Yeah thanks Blake - I saw that earlier but was hoping that someone could shed some light...I'm sort of at the point of no return - t'would be folly to turn and recode with a different module...ugh. I have some ideas but they're all hacks and want to see if there is some viable solution here - can't find any docs on PENGUIN either... -m00se	[reply]
