Please restructure your code as follows: `if ($insql =~ m/.~\w+~./) { print "MATCHED IT\n";} errmsg(1); die; };` [download] You don't show the code of `errmsg`, but most likely it really returns a false value and thus prevents the `die` from executing.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

If the left side of `&&` is false, the right side will never be executed. Compare: This does not die... `errstr() && die if (1); sub errstr { return 0; }` [download] This does: `if (1){ errstr(); die; } sub errstr { return 0; }` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]
