the docs explain  the return codes for system, this is what i used:
my $err = $? >> 8; 
if ($err) { print "puked\n" }
        else {print " success\n"}

Subject: checking return code


Hi guys,

I have the following line:
system("cat $FILENAME | mailx -s \"test\" $mailAddress
");

How can I check whether mailx operation above was
successful or not?
