Look at system. `... You can check all the failure possibilities by inspecting $? like this: if ($? == -1) { print "failed to execute: $!\n"; } elsif ($? & 127) { printf "child died with signal %d, %s coredump\n", ($? & 127), ($? & 128) ? 'with' : 'without'; } else { printf "child exited with value %d\n", $? >> 8; }` [download] Boris	[reply] [d/l]

This is simply what perl set the `EXITCODE` to when it terminated, this could be because the program did `exit 255` or that the program failed to compile or something. There should be something more specific in the "Status" column if there was a problem running the program. /J\	[reply] [d/l] [select]
