Re: Re: Re:x2 if (open(FH, $path)) { ? (I got the resource acquisition blues)

If I add an if (open(FH, $path) or die "$!") { doesn't that kill the application?

I still want it to print out the rest of the webpage.

Update2: Nevermind.

It kills more than the if statement; if open is failing but your application isn't dying, you must be in an eval or something.	[reply]

Your right, I was printing out part of a webpage before the `or die` and it doesn't print any errors. Just ends the application.	[reply] [d/l]
