I did this in tcsh:
> perl -le 'exit(2); sub END {system("date");}' ; echo $status

In other words, the return value of the date command in an END subroutine
overrides my desired exit value.
How do I fix this? I want to tell Perl: if I explicitly do exit($foo), I
want the script to exit with status $foo?
