I think Michael mentioned explicitly that was what was wanted.

A specific $? shell status returned by a specific Unix vendor's
implementation
of the false command is not necessarily what is needed. Rather an
indication of
failure is what is asked for and Michael's proposed perl -e "exit 1" will
suit the task. Although the "exit 44" I had suggested could also work on
VMS,
the "exit 1" will work there too (despite the doubt I might have spread by
my earlier statement).
