I have a perl script which runs a bunch of unix commands via backticks. After the backticks, the perl script checks $? to see if the command actually worked.
It works fine for several dozen commands. The last command calls a verilog simulator tool. According to perl, $? is 256 after calling the simulator. When I run the simulator command manually on the command line, then tell bash to spit out $?, this is what I get > echo $? 1 Why would perl munge 1 into 256?
