Instead of the exit status you can check if the list returned is empty.
Code:
if [ ! -z $(find . -type f -name "*xyz*") ]
then
        logit "Success"
        find . -type f -name "*xyz*" -delete
else
        logit "Failure"
fi

Test::Exit(3pm) 					User Contributed Perl Documentation					   Test::Exit(3pm)

NAME
Test::Exit - Test that some code calls exit() without terminating testing VERSION
version 0.03 SYNOPSIS
use Test::More tests => 4; use Test::Exit; exits_ok { exit 1; } "exiting exits" never_exits_ok { print "Hi!"; } "not exiting doesn't exit" exits_zero { exit 0; } "exited with success" exits_nonzero { exit 42; } "exited with failure" DESCRIPTION
Test::Exit provides some simple tools for testing that code does or does not call "exit()", while stopping code that does exit at the point of the "exit()". Currently it does so by means of exceptions, so it will not function properly if the code under test calls "exit()" inside of an "eval" block or string. The only criterion tested is that the supplied code does or does not call "exit()". If the code throws an exception, the exception will be propagated and you will have to call it yourself. "die()"ing is not exiting for the purpose of these tests. exits_ok Tests that the supplied code calls "exit()" at some point. exits_nonzero Tests that the supplied code calls "exit()" with a nonzero value. exits_zero Tests that the supplied code calls "exit()" with a zero (successful) value. never_exits_ok Tests that the supplied code completes without calling "exit()".
