PerlLanguageProvider.executePerlCode terminates program

[dennis508]

A call to PerlLanguageProvider.executePerlCode runs successfully but does not return or throw an exception. Instead it terminates the program. (Sorry, I do not know how to identify the PerlOnJava revision. Changelog has v5.42.3)

public static void main(String[] args) {
        
    // exiftool -ver
    String newargs[] = new String[]{
        "/C/F/Projects/PerlOnJava/Image-ExifTool-13.50/exiftool",
        "-ver"};
    
    CompilerOptions parsedArgs = ArgumentParser.parseArguments(newargs);

    if (parsedArgs.code == null) {
        System.err.println("No code provided. Use -e <code> or specify a filename.");
        System.exit(1);
    }

    try {
        PerlLanguageProvider.executePerlCode(parsedArgs, true);////does not return.
