I'm successfully calling a perl script from a shell script. Now I want to pass a return value from the perl script indicating whether it was successful or not to the shell script. How would I go about doing this?
Thanks!

Simply exit the Perl script with the appropriate exit value.
exit $exit_value;
exit 0;
if ($problem) { exit 1 }
In the shell script you'll have the usual $?
to check the return value.
