That's not right. eval BLOCK has no overhead (or rather negligible overhead).

eval EXPR (string eval) *does* have overhead, because the string needs to be compiled at runtime, but that's the issue here.

In general, actually, I would tend to agree with you, but for a different reason: there is no sense in wrapping *every* function call in its own eval. Instead wrap an entire self-contained block in an eval, like this:

eval { ... ... ... }; if ($@) { ## Got error }
You will jump out of the block as soon as your code hits an exception, and you might as well keep your exception-handling in one place, rather than scattered all over the place.

To the OP: check out Exception::Class and Error, among others.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
