I have chosen a bad example trying to simplify the problem, as I have not realised that defining a sub is not executing it. In real world I have a module with utility subs and one of them is FatalError $msg as:
sub FatalError
{
        my $message = shift;

        my ($package, $filename, $line) = caller;

        Log "ERROR","$message ($filename linea $line)";
        CloseLog;
        die "ERROR: $message ($filename linea $line)\n";
}

[download]
then I use it in a script as in:
$conn = Net::SFTP::Foreign::Compat->new($ftp_host,(user => $ftp_user))
+;
if ( $conn->error )
{
    my $errormsg=$!;
    FatalError "Error: $errormsg";
}

[download]
Result is the error message appears in the log but the script finishes with 0 return code.
I have tried to force the return code with $! but with no positive result.


Thanks
