Points well taken graff. I'm embarrassed to say, I have not used eval to trap errors. How about a little lesson here... if I were to trap the error in the OP would it look something like this?
eval { uploader($dir, $name) };
print "There was a problem uploading your file: $@" if ($@);
sub uploader {
my ($upload_dir, $filename) = @_;
...
open UPLOADFILE, ">$upload_dir/$filename" or die;
}
So, I can go ahead and die and the eval will trap and return the error without fatally terminating the script? Thanks!

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).
