Logging Warning Messages

kidwahoo94 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I'm trying to find a way to pipe warning messages into a log file....sometimes I don't want to 'die' if errors are encountered. Sample code: $handle->GetNumber($recs) || die "Can't get number of EventLog records\n"; I'd like to be able to log the errors instead of 'dieing'

Welcome to the Monastery! You probably need `warn`. Be sure to check our Tutorials! Ciao, Valerio	[reply] [d/l]

Why not try something like this... `#Output warnings to warnings.log BEGIN{ open(STDERR, "warnings.log")\|\|die "Can't open warning.log: $!"; }` [download] This should send your warnings to a log file for you, hope this helps	[reply] [d/l]
