Subject: Re: exit status, stderr and stdout

This is what I was looking for but I can't seem to be getting the
appropriate exit value anyway. I tried perl's $? & 127 which didn't give
it to me either:

min,out,err = Open3.popen3("ls /nonexistantdir");
p $? & 127

=> 0

[~]$ ls /nonexistantdir
ls: /nonexistantdir: No such file or directory
[~]$ echo $?
1


$? on it's own returns 65280

why the difference?
