in thread Emulating -c within perl

Thanks. After running `perl -c foo.pl`, how do I check what the result was? If I was running an eval, I'd check $@, but the return value from `` is just a string, so I can't check that directly.

Update: aah, looks like I should be using $?. Also, thanks for the pointer, liz.
