in thread [SOLVED] Using eval: $@ isn't returning the error I expect

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).

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]
