Sure.

Why not use the return value of system()?

  sub mount {
    system(
      "mount", "-t", "smbfs",
      "-o",
      "username=$ini{$section}{username},password=$ini{$section}{password}",
      "//$ini{$section}{machine}/$ini{$section}{share}",
      "/mnt/backup",
    ) == 0;
  }

  next unless mount();
