Error Help with perl eval command .....
Hi All,

I read the above written code (perl code) in another perl script and evaluates this code for each line of text file,but using exit statement in code make this not to work and i could not get the desired results. However if i use return it works fine. I just need to know why it doesn't works with exit.

Code:
$flag = 0;
if(s/sa/Output/g) {
$flag = 1;
}
exit $flag;

Try "return $flag" instead of "exit $flag" and in the first script:

Code:
$flag = eval "@filter_scr";
