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?
This is probably what you want:
$ perl -le' END { system "date"; $? = 2 } ' ; echo $?
