If what you are referring to is whether a called function was successfull, then you are simply checking the return value which you can arbitrarily set during the function. And, yes, this will work for the conditional portion of an if statement...
Sorry, if this is not what you are referring to, please give more details.
An example is:
open sendmail and send a message to the specific recipients. If all goes well then print something and if it doesnt go well, IE, there was an error or, like I have experienced, it simply does not work even though there is no error, then posts something else.
Specifically for your example, I use Mail::Sendmail package, this package allows you to define the standard email parameters, recipients, content, smtp server, etc.

Yep...that helps.
Specifically for your example, I use Mail::Sendmail package, this package allows you to define the standard email parameters, recipients, content, smtp server, etc.
example:
($success_flag)=&send_email($to,$from,$sub,$body);
&send_email(){
local($to_address,$from_address,$subject,$body) = @_;
%mail = (To=> $to_address,
From=> $from_address,
Subject=> $subject,
Message=> $body);
$success_flag=1;
sendmail (%mail) or $success_flag=0;
return ($success_flag);
}
