exit /b 123 is identical to exit 123 when executed at the command line level.

Actually, I found that when I used exit /b in the batch file, I was not getting the return code in my perl. Once I stripped the /b I did.	[reply]

Executed from within a batch file, /b sets the %errorlevel% environment variable and exits the batch file, rather than exit cmd.exe and return the value as it process exit code. Outside a batch file, (ie. on the command line), /b is a non-op.
