What are $? and $! values after the system() failure?

<div>
<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
$exitval = system &quot;scripts/myscript.pl&quot;; &nbsp; #this works<br />
$exitval = system &quot;scripts/patch_fdcs.pl $MYDIR&quot;; &nbsp;#this does not work<br />
<br />
It has to be a system call and not backticks. &nbsp;So how do I send parameter?

Perl is a high-level, general-purpose, interpreted, dynamic programming languages with over 25 years of development. Perl 5 runs on over 100 platforms from portables to mainframes and is suitable for both rapid prototyping and large-scale development projects.  Perl gained widespread popularity as a Common Gateway Interface (CGI) scripting language, in part due to its regular expression and string parsing abilities. In addition to CGI, Perl is used for graphics programming, system administration, network programming, finance, bioinformatics, and other applications.
