PackageMaker - result of script always failes

Question

I added a script to the package maker - under Distribution->Requirements. The problem I have is the script result is always false (at least from the installer prospective). I have simplified my script below. Even this script fails? I've executed this command from terminal and the return value is zero as expected.

I'm using verion 3.04 of package maker.

 #!/usr/bin/perl -w
 use strict;
 exit 0;

I've tried returning 1 as well but the result is always the same.

Anyone have success with a requirement script and package maker?

Is it necessary to use a perl script? If not, you can use a shell script. I use it and it works.

#!/bin/sh  
#do your stuff  
exit 0

You can get some more info at Scripting in Packagemaker

I get the same results using shell or perl. I ran some additional tests and have determined that the script is never executed. – user1127081 Mar 27 '13 at 16:21

Are you sure the script doesn't get evaluated? I also added a script to the requirements list and got weird results. What I found in another article on StackOverflow was, that the return value is just interpreted in an unexpected way. Here's the article:

PackageMaker "Result of Script" requirement never passes

This solved the problem for me. Hope it helps!
