Please explain what flack you think I've given you.

The question
seemed simple enough to me, I never said that exit() was broken. Sheesh.

You didn't? Allow me to re-arrange your top posting (have you read the
Posting Guidelines yet?) and show you what you posted:

I am attempting to return an error code from a Perl script. At first
blush, it seemed easy with the exit() call. But it doesn't work.

Sure as heck seems to me like you just said exit() doesn't work. Where
am I mistaken?

I hope this helps. Any more flack and I think I'll punt and seek help
elsewhere.

I find this statement very interesting, on multiple levels. First,
it's phrased as though you're somehow threatening me, as though I'll be
damaged if you stop posting here. I don't understand what would make
you think that. Secondly, I still don't get what "flack" you think
I've given you. You posted a very incomplete problem statement, with
absolutely no code to back up what you said, and I pointed out to you
how it's not possible to help you effectively without those two things.
Where is the problem?

I suggest you grow a little bit of a spine.

(Now see, *that* was flack)
