It's the same variable :-)
$? The status returned by the last pipe close, backtick (``) com-
mand, successful call to wait() or waitpid(), or from the sys-
tem() operator.
For more info, man perlvar
If you care to give it a test, here it goes:
perl -e '`ls`;print $?'
# prints "0" (hopefully)
perl -e '`nonexistingcommand`;print $?'
# prints "1" (unless you have some strange command on your machine...)
