Please provide option (or pragma) to make die exit 255 #16585

From @ijacksonCreated by @ijacksonThis is a bug report for perl from ijackson@chiark.greened.org.uk, ----------------------------------------------------------------- The behaviour of die with respect to the whole perl interpreter's exit This can mostly be worked around with $SIG{__DIE__}. But this is extremely awkard. And not only because of $SIG{__DIE__}'s Even `use' can cause `die' with an unanticipated exit status. So So the application has to put something like this at the top of the Furthermore, there does not seem to be a sensible way to make sure the I think the best way to solve this problem is to do at least this: 0. Provide a new single-character command line option, A more comprehensive plan would be: 1. Provide a new special variable $^? which is the fixed exit status 2. Provide a single-character command line option to set $^? to 255. 3. Change perl so that failure to open the script file any case causes 1+2 or 1+3 would be sufficient. If relying on 2 rather than 3, we require a single-character option If combined with a fix to bug #30296, option 1 would have the side It would also be possible to solve this problem with a pragma, but Perl Info |
