I am using the Net::SCP::Expect pm in a script and it is causing a system command to give a return value of -1 instead of 0. I know it is the problem as I wrote a test script and as you can see adding and removing the “use Net::SCP::Expect” line will change the return value.
#!/bin/env perl use strict; use warnings; use Net::SCP::Expect; my $cmd = qq{rpm -qa | grep cluster}; print (" - Running ($cmd) \n"); my @out = `$cmd`; my $err = $?; if ($err) { print "Could not find cluster rpm's, err: $err +\n"; exit 1; } exit 0;
Does anybody know how to fix/get around this?
