You are setting $exit to be the opposite of what 'run' returns. You want
run ... and $exit = 1;
just like you should write
system( ... ) and die ...
these being a couple of the rare Perl functions that return 0, a false value, to indicate "no failure" instead of the much more usual "true means success" scheme.
Update: Checking the documentation, I couldn't find any direct mention of what run() returns but it was certainly used as if "true means success" and looking at the source, it appears to return the equivalent of ! $?. So my instinct and advice was wrong. Sorry. It just fit the problem statement so well. Drat. But your claim of what $? returned contradicts this so maybe you've got some version that I'd have to dig out of backpan and I'm actually right after all. ;->

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
