Re: function or something

I'm not sure if you want your *program* to return a value, or you want the *subroutine* to return a value. If the program, do

someFunction() or exit(1);

If the function, you'll have to catch the value the sub returns and do your thing with it.

my $ret = someFunction();
if( $ret ){
  do_your_thing();
  maybe_return_here();
}
