how to "see" DOS errorlevel codes?

[Rossman123]

The xcopy command in DOS returns the following codes on
error/success...

0 - Files were copied without error.

1 - No files were found to copy.

2 - The user pressed CTRL+C to terminate xcopy.

4 - Initialization error occurred. There is not enough memory or disk
space, or you entered an invalid drive name or invalid syntax on the
command line.

5 - Disk write error occurred.

How can I find out what code was returned, after I do an xcopy using
the Perl system command?
My code looks like this:
system ("xcopy /E /Y /F /I /D $source $destination");

Many thanks...

By actually examining what system returns.

Try the documentation.

perldoc system

perldoc -f system
is what J means, I'm sure.
