Re^3: Dereferencing %hash that does not exist. (conditional)

Ok, so I implemented the eval variant of this and it seems to work well, thank you guys.
I now have a slightly different issue.

my::module::exit_routine is also passed into a simple logging module that I put together like this:

my $log = LogSimple->new(logdir => $logdir, logfile => $logfile, exit 
+=> \&my::module::exit_routine )
[download]

In this particular script whenever my::module::exit_routine is called I need to pass the %modifier dispatch table so I need to setup the $log object like this:

my $log = LogSimple->new(logdir => $logdir, logfile => $logfile, exit 
+=> \&my::module::exit_routine(\%modifier) )
[download]

Except this does not work, the error is:
Not a CODE reference at /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10.1/LogSimple.pm

I have to admit that my OOP is really in it's infancy.

Really not sure on this one so any help much appreciated.

Cheers, Darren

The expression `\&my::module::exit_routine` is evaluated at compile time and so, of course, cannot 'take' an argument (although the `LogSimple` module, to which you offer no link and which doesn't appear on CPAN or MetaCPAN, may provide a way around this; see its documentation). A typical work-around would be something like (untested) `exit => sub { return my::module::exit_routine(\%modifier); }`	[reply] [d/l] [select]
