Okay,
system returns a 0 if it executes successfully. So then, die is called
only if system returns anything other than a 0.
And in the old code system would return a 0 after calling perl. This
would short-circuit and call die.
Makes sense :) Will try out and reply.
Thx,
Alex

I don't think the problem is in vplan_all.pl. I looked back at your
original code and noticed a bug:
system( "perl vplan_all.pl 5.6 24.0")
or die "Couldn't run the vplan_all.pl script: $!\n";
This should be
system( "perl vplan_all.pl 5.6 24.0") == 0
or die "Couldn't run the vplan_all.pl script: $!\n";
