for system("perl test.pl", $retval);
and exec("perl test.pl", $ary, $retval);
the value of $retval is the value that the perl
script "test.pl" returns, (not a perl status code).
as someone else suggested, go and look for
exit(126) statements (or just exit(), if exit
returns the value of a variable, and not the
constant "126") within the perl script and you'll
probably find a little note as to *what* the 126
means...
