Tony and Chas, thanks for the help.
First problem was using switched from DOS PC to UNIX system which had no
idea what #! c:\perl was since it wanted #! /usr/global/perl.
Don't really understand how
$exit_value = $? >> 8;
$signal_num = $? & 127;
$dumped_core = $? & 128;
will be useful. BTW tuesdays are bad days for missile launch so easy on the
button Chas, please.
Yeah, Tony your sturcture worked fine... except....
system "tar cvf ./test.tar *.grib"
if ($? == 0) {
print "\nSuccess!\n";
}
else {
print "\nUnsuccessful!\n";
}
printed "Success!" even thought there were no *.grib files....
gotta find another way. But thanks for the assistance, greatly appreciated.
