8.167 vmsish (Perl in a Nutshell)
Pragma that currently supports three VMS-specific language features:
- status
Makes $? and system return VMS status
values instead of emulating POSIX.
- exit
Makes exit take a VMS status value instead of assuming that
exit 1 is an error.
- time
Makes all times relative to the local time zone.
