hmm, from perldoc -f exit 
Don't use "exit" to abort a subroutine if there's any chance
that someone might want to trap whatever error happened.  
Use "die" instead, which can be trapped by an "eval".

That doesn't sound too promising....

Do you actually need to catch the exit 0, or do you just need to know whether it terminated normally. AFAIK, a zero exit status generally means sucess, whereas anything else means that something went wrong. So perhaps you could just test the exit status of the Perl script, no?
