Re: proper way to assign return value to a variable

Hello Richard Reina,

:0 w # send to test_subject.pl check for order no.
* ? /usr/bin/perl -e 'require "/home/richard/.pmdir/test_subject.pl"; test_subject($ENV{SUBJECT};'

It look weird, because if you only want the returncode you can do:

    PO=`/usr/bin/perl -e 'require "/home/richard/.pmdir/test_subject.pl"; test_subject($ENV{SUBJECT};' >/dev/null 2>&1 ; echo $?`

    :0:
    * PO ?? 0  # if PO equals zero. PO is NOT valid
    | ( formail -r \
                -I "From: Responses will be automatically discarded <[email protected]>"; \
        echo "Your mail has been administratively rejected."; \
        echo "PO is not valid." \
      ) | /usr/sbin/ssmtp -oi -t

    :0
    {# else PO is valid strip the attachments and file it
    | ( ripmime -i -d /home/richard/.pmdir/attachments/  )
    | /usr/bin/perl -e 'require "/home/richard/.pmdir/test_subject.pl"; rename_attachments($ENV{PO});'

Are you sure, this is working?
