Question

Is it possible to return an error code from a perl script?

I am writing perl script which takes a parameter KEY,

Now to cover up negative scenario,
like
file open failure
Key already exist etc,

I want to return different error code,
like
enum
{
FILE_OPEN_FAILED,
DUPLICATE_KEY
}

This perl script is called from a C function and depending on the error code I need to generate ALARMS.

Please Help…

Thanks,
V-Anu

exit, die and END blocks can set the exit code.
