Full Discussion: perl - understand process status and continue the code execution

Thanks cbkihong, I saw that already, this would probably require fork(); but it won't work for me, at least in the way I wanted, I have arbitrary number of processes started via system command, and I can't use their PIDs, plus the execution of the subroutine call itself is successful, so I cannot do even :
Code:
wait &sub-call;
    if ($? == 0) {
        # do something else;
}

I think I'll wait for STDIN interaction while "chomp"-ing the input, this should ensure that processes / SSH transfers in the background are done, assuming someone is looking at the external log file in real time.

dh_perl

DH_PERL(1)                                                           Debhelper                                                          DH_PERL(1)

NAME

       dh_perl - calculates Perl dependencies and cleans up after MakeMaker

SYNOPSIS

       dh_perl [debhelperoptions] [-d] [librarydirs...]

DESCRIPTION

       dh_perl is a debhelper program that is responsible for generating the ${perl:Depends} substitutions and adding them to substvars files.

       The program will look at Perl scripts and modules in your package, and will use this information to generate a dependency on perl or
       perlapi. The dependency will be substituted into your package's control file wherever you place the token ${perl:Depends}.

       dh_perl also cleans up empty directories that MakeMaker can generate when installing Perl modules.

OPTIONS

       -d  In some specific cases you may want to depend on perl-base rather than the full perl package. If so, you can pass the -d option to make
           dh_perl generate a dependency on the correct base package. This is only necessary for some packages that are included in the base
           system.

           Note that this flag may cause no dependency on perl-base to be generated at all. perl-base is Essential, so its dependency can be left
           out, unless a versioned dependency is needed.

       -V  By default, scripts and architecture independent modules don't depend on any specific version of perl. The -V option causes the current
           version of the perl (or perl-base with -d) package to be specified.

       library dirs
           If your package installs Perl modules in non-standard directories, you can make dh_perl check those directories by passing their names
           on the command line. It will only check the vendorlib and vendorarch directories by default.

CONFORMS TO

       Debian policy, version 3.8.3

       Perl policy, version 1.20
