I need to write a script that cooperates with a bunch of other scripts in the 'toolbox' paradigm which is often thought of as a core tenet of UNIX philosophy. In particular, when my script fails, the other scripts will look in $? and based on the number therein they will perform some actions. However, I don't know how to write to $? and so I may have to rewrite a whole bunch of scripts to read from STDERR. Not something I am looking forward to. How to a send a value to $? in Perl? I have tried the return function but that only works in subroutines . . .
Thanks in Advance, Jason Dusek
