[cvsnt] taginfo ignoring exit status

[Scott Ford]

Try -1 for false. I wrote a script for taginfo a while back (see
archives I posted about it) and noticed that the taginfo script would
only fail if the script that is was calling returned -1.

I just tried with a taginfo of

ALL exit 1

and it successfully stopped tagging, so it's probably the return value
from the script.  Try putting some echo commands in the script so you
can tell what it's actually doing...  Also if you're on NT running the
.pl directly seems to have issues (perl bug I think) - invoking
perl.exe seems to be more reliable.
