I'm spawning a process from within a perl script and then doing a waitpid
on it and checking the return status,
I am looking at $? which appears to return the pid and a status in the
next 8 bits.
However I really need to see the VMS exit status , the documentation
perlvms.pod seems to suggest that this will be contained in $^S
however it appears to be always blank. ( perl version 5.6.1)
Is the VMS exit status available ?
Aplogies for asking silly questions, but I'm finding the perlvms.pod to be
less than 100% accurate.
