I don't believe you.
There is just about no way that this command could cause a program to fail
by any reasonable definition of "fail".

I cannot repro your problem:

C:\tmp>type t.pl
use strict;
use warnings;
#do whatever you please
exit (0);
C:\tmp>t.pl

C:\tmp>

Obviously t.pl did not fail.

Please post a minimal but complete program that demonstrates the problem.
Also, please be more precise in describing in what you expect to happen
versus the actual behaviour of the program. Saying "it fails" is about as
informative as saying "my car doesnt' run" and can have just about as many
reasons from missing gas to a broken transmission or flat tires.
