Hi, I have a problem with a program I did in Perl : I use the function system(@args) to launch an external command, and then get the exit value : $exit_value = $? >> 8. That runs fine, the problem is the exit value can be -1, so $exit_value should be a signed char. When the program returns -1, and I print $exit_value, I get 255...so I guess either it's an unsigned char, or an integer...is there a way to declare ma variable as a signed char? Thanks
