(arturo) Re^3: DBI error and $@

in reply to Re: Re: DBI error and $@
in thread DBI error and $@

In addition to what the anonymous monk has to say (I'll admit it, it was me, not logged in), take a look at the code that creates the DB handle in that example, where RaiseError is set to 1 (i.e. true). That means the die is automatically called on a DB error, so it's functionally equivalent to the code "AM" provided.

I have RaiseError set to 1 so like you say, die is called automatically, which should set $@. Is that incorrect? If so, why do the examples not use a explicit die statement with the errstr method -- they, from what I can tell, are just using $@ .. the errstr method is not used at all. -- notsoevil -- Jeremiah 49:32 - And their camels shall be a booty. . .
