Yes, just return a true (1) or false (0) value...
foreach (@junk) {
next unless mount(); # next on error
... do stuff ...
}
sub mount{
... do stuff ...
return $return_code;
}
...OR...
sub mount{
... do stuff ...
# return the negated return value
return ! system(...);
}
...OR...
sub mount{
... do stuff ...
# the last evaluated value is automatically returned
! system(...);
}

Subject: Return Status
instead of setting my own $error can I instead just check if &mount
completed ok? Is there a better way to do this?
Code Snip
---------
Foreach loop
...
&mount;
next if ($error == 1);
mkdir "//backup/$ini{$section}{machine}" unless (-e
"/backup/$ini{$section}{machine}");
}
sub mount{
!system
"mount","-t","smbfs","-o","username=$ini{$section}{username},password=$i
ni{$section}{password}",
"//$ini{$section}{machine}/$ini{$section}{share}","/mnt/backup" or
$error=1;
}
