HI below is my shell script:

#!/usr/bin/ksh

PERL_PATH=/usr/local/bin/perl

RET1=$(${PERL_PATH} test.pl)

echo $RET1

below is my perl script:

#!/usr/local/bin/perl

return 1;

when i run the shell script:

> s_.sh
Can't return outside a subroutine at test.pl line 3.

what is the problem over here?
