Please update your Module.
I've also seen this bug and posted a patch
here
which was accepted and merged into version 1.28.
Title: exit_status() can fail to return valid exit state after sufficently long runtime.
Problem:
A main process that runs sufficiently long might get an 'undef' or -1
form exit_status() instead of the real execution status.
...
Analysis:
If a Proc::Simple variable/object is DESTROYed while the associated
Proc::Simple-process has already terminated, the PID is unnecessarily
remembered in %DESTROYED for later reaping.
If another process re-uses the PID (e.g. after the OS' PID wrap-around)
the process is reaped by sub THE_REAPER and the execution state is lost
since the %DESTROYED hash is checked before the %EXIT_STATUS hash there.

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
