wizzard has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I am wanting to write a perl script that will be initiated by Connect Direct software and I want to pass back a return code to that when the script exits. is there any way this can be done and if so, HOW ? Thanks.

    Give your return code as the parameter to the   exit   call, it will be passed on to the calling programme.

    See   perldoc -f exit
