I'm interested in what advice the monks can give on the following
form of eval error catching-- I picked it up at work
and have been using it for a while, with pretty good
success. I use programs that run other programs at work,
and this displays which program died when a die
happens.
eval { main () };
print STDERR "# $0: ", $@
and exit 1
if $@;
exit 0;
sub main {
# do everything
...
}
I don't use the try/catch form of eval much, although
it does seem to work with the above:
eval { main () };
print STDERR "# $0: ", $@
and exit 1
if $@;
exit 0;
sub main {
my $val = eval { test_sub () };
print "hi" if $@;
}
sub test_sub { die "test_sub dies" }
prints "hi", not "# <programname>: test_sub dies", as I expected.
Any advice? Could this lead me to shoot myself in the foot
later on? Thanks much.

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
