in thread Bad file descriptor when trying to close file handle

Hi, I read your post several times, focusing on your comment "Notice that after you die, you try to execute that block of code an additional time.". I could not see what you were referring to -- after I die, there are no more instructions. And "die" terminates the execution of the program anyway, so I'm not clear as to how after dying I could possibly try to execute that block of code an additional time. When the die instruction is in fact executed when the invoker calls this module a second time, the program totally stops running. Where would I notice that after I die I try to execute that block of code an additional time? I'm drawing a blank on it. Thanks much.

    You have Can't use an undefined value as a symbol reference at /u1/stat/global/bin/perllib/master_log.pm line 480. after Died at /u1/stat/global/bin/perllib/master_log.pm line 494.

    I'm not clear as to how after dying I could possibly try to execute that block of code an additional time.

    Neither are we, since you didn't show us. Maybe you catch the exception? Maybe you call it from a destructor or END block?
