I believe this is Perl, 512 is not the real value returned by the program 
so you must not return the value returned from the system call as is:

system(LIST)
system LIST
     Does exactly the same thing as "exec LIST" except that a fork is
     done first, and the parent process waits for the child process to
     complete. Note that argument processing varies depending on the
     number of arguments. The return value is the exit status of the
     program as returned by the wait() call. To get the actual exit
     value divide by 256. See also exec.
