Re^2: Using eval: $@ isn't returning the error I expect

Thanks, pryrt

I tried this:

$ perl -le 'eval "use cPanelUserConfig;"; print "msg = ($@)" if $@; print "ok"'

and got this error:

syntax error at /Library/WebServer/CGI-Executables/orders/orderFormSalesDisplayPreRollout.cgi line 13, near "$ perl "

I don't think I'm correctly translating what you typed, into a literal line for my script. Can you tell me what I'm doing wrong? Thanks again.

The `$ perl -le ...` indicates that this is a command typed at the command line (as a demo), not something you should simply copy & paste into your script as a whole line - the code is inside the single quotes after the `-e` switch here (see also perlrun).	[reply] [d/l] [select]

D'oh! Of course, that was a command line command... And yes, I did try just the part in single quotes in my script. Finally figured out via another comment here that it needed to go into a BEGIN block, due to the nature of its use on the host server. Problem solved. Thanks!	[reply]
