An END block is not a sub. Take sub off. Just END{...}. The END block will execute before program really exits thereby calling the type of exit you want instead of the normal one as previous monk pointed out.	[reply]

An END block is not a sub. Take sub off. The parser allows `sub <SPECIALNAME>`; it's not an error.	[reply] [d/l]

Well at least you are executing the END block now. A print in the END block would show that it gets called 11 times. did you try the other idea of using exec "/bin/true" in the END block?	[reply]
