Hmm, does this actually break the contract of the public API?

The docs that I've found don't specify any specific return values, they
just show through example that:

(From perlembed.pod)
     exitstatus = perl_parse(my_perl, NULL, 2, embedding, NULL);
     PL_exit_flags |= PERL_EXIT_DESTRUCT_END;
     if(!exitstatus) {
        exitstatus = perl_run(my_perl);

So as long as perl_parse returns a false value when it succeeds, we
should be good?
