Re: Re: How to get system -function negative return value?

Thanks, but I exactly ment already divided value :-(

Code:

my $return_value = system("test.exe something");
[download]

returns 0-65280, negative value is always 65280

and when divide it

$return_value = $return_value/256;
[download]

it returns naturally 0-255

Maybe I should use some other function. Any suggestions?
