Re: Re: Catching perl warnings and errors

I use perl module Sys::Syslog for sending any messages to syslog, it work great. I only want to catch perl errors (from within my scripts not by redirecting it from the command line)and send them to syslog the same way.

oh. I understood something else from your first post... There are many ways to catch exceptions. You could use `eval()`, but using `eval()` will not work for warnings from the compiler, from the POD: `Beware that using "eval" neither silences perl from printing warnings +to STDERR, nor does it stuff the text of warning messages into $@.` [download] Or you can use Error as nite_man suggests, but I just made a couple of tests and read the docs and compiler warnings don't seem to be handled by it. hope this helps,	[reply] [d/l] [select]
