This is a bug report for perl from shy@cig.mot.com\, generated with the help of perlbug 1.26 running under perl 5.00502.
system() corrupts exit status after exit()
system() corrupts the exit status of a script if the system calls takes place after the script calls exit().
The following scripts demonstrate the problem when called with any argument.
'ptest2 1' invokes system() in an END block after the script calls exit(1).
'ptest 1' invokes system() in an object destructor after the script calls exit(1).
In both cases\, each script's final exit status is 0. I think this behavior qualifies as a perl bug since the final exit statuses are 0 when the system() calls aren't made. Try 'ptest2' and 'ptest'.
I see this problem with perl\, version 5.005_02 built for sun4-solaris or sun4-sunos.
