=over =item ${^CHILD_ERROR_NATIVE} X<$^CHILD_ERROR_NATIVE> The native status returned by the last pipe close, backtick (C<``>) command, successful call to C or C, or from the C operator. On POSIX-like systems this value can be decoded with the WIFEXITED, WEXITSTATUS, WIFSIGNALED, WTERMSIG, WIFSTOPPED, WSTOPSIG and WIFCONTINUED functions provided by the L module. Under VMS this reflects the actual VMS exit status; i.e. it is the same as C<$?> when the pragma C is in effect. This variable was added in Perl v5.10.0. =back
