Re^2: XML::Twig and Eval

small correction,the XML is :

<address>
      <city/>
    </address>
[download]

and not <addr>

taking off my SIG{__DIE__} handler which was calling explicitly exit made it continue

Does Eval call the DIE handler? but what if I want to continue when the code is wrapped in eval and die in all other occasions? I'm probably missing something fundamental here

The fundamental thing is to not have a `$SIG{__DIE__}` handler at all, or at least, to not call `exit` in there. Also see `$^S` in perlvar and the discussion of it there relating to `%SIG`. Basically, what you've done is bad design and the sooner you go away from a `$SIG{__DIE__}`, the sooner your headaches will go away.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

IIRC, in your example, there's no text on the element "city", so it will be undef. Also eval seems to indicate that if you're using `SIG{__DIE__}` within your code, you'll want a local handler inside the eval.	[reply] [d/l]
