Re^2: How can I get Perl via Carp, to SCREAM -- more informative output via cluck(),confess(),longmess()?

Thanks for the reply, choroba

I replaced my call to system, with the one you noted. which returned

cat: MYFILE: No such file or directory
Undefined subroutine &main::confess called at ./tester.cgi line 17.

Thanks again for the reply.

Hey. I'm not completely useless. I can be used as a bad example.

`Undefined subroutine &main::confess` This is because you forgot to import the `confess` function. You're importing `cluck`, `longmess` and `shortmess` but nothing else from Carp: `use Carp qw(cluck longmess shortmess);` [download] Really, `longmess` and `shortmess` are unlikely to be much use in end-user code. They might be helpful if you were writing an extension to Carp. The four functions that are actually useful are `croak`, `confess`, `carp`, and `cluck`, and the least useful of these is `cluck` (which happens to be the only one of them that you're importing). `use Moops; class Cow :rw { has name => (default => 'Ermintrude') }; say Cow->new->name`	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Good points, tobyink. I should have caught the omission of confess, myself. Thanks for pointing it out. <blush> Thanks again. --Chris Hey. I'm not completely useless. I can be used as a bad example.	[reply]
