in reply to exchanging data between shell script and perl -e

First off, you can pass data to perl using normal piping like: 
 ls -l |perl -ne "print if /bla/"

Second, if you want to let Perl exit with a status code, you can use exit.

I hope this answers your question.

    This is one option, but I sort of have my mind set on the option I mentioned...

    If, for what reason what so ever this can't be done I will certainly use this option. But I figured the first to be more readable...
