Hi, everyone. I just finished reading an excellent Perl book, Wicked
Cool Perl Scripts. If you like looking at other people's code to see
how they solved problems, this book is the best I've seen.
But the book doesn't cover the Perl debugger, which I find myself using
more and more, and want to get better at, to save time. Any
recommendations for a book that explains how to get the most out of the
Perl debugger?

Hi,
I am calling a perl script. This perl script will exit(9) when finished
processing.
I am calling this script from a borne shell script. I need to catch the
return value.
The following is a simple example.
But i can not catch the "9"
perltest.pl
#!/opt/bin/perl
print("hello\n");
exit 9;
here is the shell script
#!/bin/ksh
var=`perl perltest.pl`
print ${var}
Also how is this done if perl is the calling script.
#!/opt/bin/perl
my $var = 8;
print("$var\n");
$var= system(perl perltest.pl);
print ($var);
Can any one help.?

Did you read the documentation for the functions that you are using?
From 'perldoc -f system':
The return value is the exit status of the program as returned
by the "wait" call. To get the actual exit value divide by 256.
