Hmm, this is because of 'require $exe' in exe_wrap.pl.

We could add '1;' to the end of the grabber, but I think it would be
better to change exe_wrap.pl, make it do something like

    open EXE, $exe or die;
    undef $/;
    my $code = <EXE>;
    eval $code;

Then returning a true value wouldn't be required.

(BTW, the 'exit $r' is probably not quite right - 'exit 0' would be
better, since Perl scripts don't normally return the last value to the
environment.  But I have some feeling of deja vu here, is there a
reason for the extra 'exit'?)
