Re: Re: Eval and system()

Sorry about that! I meant:

eval { system("fake_command") };
print $@;

which still doesn't print $@, I guess because of it being caught in the compile phase. Thanks . . . Kevin

It doesn't mean an error in eval when the command in `system()` fails. To check for that you can probably use: `eval { system("false") and die "command 'false' went wrong!"}; print $@, "\n"` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]
