Re^4: handling WWW::Mechanize Error GETing

Hi,

In general you are right about eval { ...; 1 } or do { ... } being better than eval { ... }; if ($@) { ... }, however note this

eval { $mech->get( $imgsrc ); };
if( not $mech->res->is_success ){
    ...
}

is quite different from all the other snippets of code so far: it only checks $mech->res->is_success, as opposed to all the other examples which would report any error inside an eval, so personally I'd recommend those other patterns over this particular example.

:) All the code is incomplete , none reports any errors `"# alert the error"` is a comment, $mech contains all the parts needed to make up the error message ... but the OP just wanted to avoid dying and give it another url, so :)	[reply] [d/l]
