This solves the problem!
I want to be able to run the same program on both old and new systems,
so rather than substituting $? for ${^CHILD_ERROR_NATIVE} directly, I
substituted like so:
WIFSTOPPED(( defined ${^CHILD_ERROR_NATIVE} ? ${^CHILD_ERROR_NATIVE} : $? ))
For the benefit of the curious, here's a link to the email thread that
lead to the thread you referenced above:
http://www.mail-archive.com/perl5-port...@perl.org/msg86900.html
Also, I might have been able to figure this one out on my own if I had
studied the perldelta man page and/or read the updated documentation
for perl's builtin system() function:
man perldelta
perldoc -f system
I am personally very grateful to you for your help as I was stumped
and thought that this was actually a bug... Your time and expertise
is greatly appreciated!
Thank you,
- Tor
The link you referenced (above), for me at least, did not offer links
to all the messages in the thread that discussed this change in perl.
Here's a link to a message archive that allowed me to view the entire
