system call exit status

How can I decode a non-zero exit status returned from the system
function call?

I'm trying the following

my @unzip_system = ('unzip', '-d', $tmp, '-q', "$tmp/file.zip");
if (system(@unzip_system)) {
          carp "system (@unzip_system) failed ($?)";
          system("rm -fr $tmp");
          next;
}

and getting the error...

system (unzip -d /tmp/unzip.20763 -q /tmp/unzip.20763/file.zip) failed
(65280) at /prod/newsfeed/bin/get_news line 90

What does the number 65280 mean?
