This symptom indicates that the system built-in function is not working.
Try
perl -e 'print system("exit 1;"), "\n"'
Hmmm... The test that is failing is
is system("exit 1;"), 1<<8, 'system exit 1 should return 256';
which should be okay, but I'm suddenly thinking: on some shells
'exit' might not do what we would expect. Indeed, I just tried:
$ perl -E'say system "exit 1"'
-1
And yet the tests usually pass on my machine. I have to look at
that in more details...
Joy,
