This will probably be a Homer S. Doh... but why doesn't this exit. It prints the Match... and the error mesg I have in a separate function then I see the ..passed print.. If tried exit as well. Thanks for any/all help 

sub getsql{
        my $dbh = shift;
        my $script = shift;
        my $insert= shift;
        local $/ = undef;
        open FILE, '<', $script, or die "Couldn't open SQL file";
        my $insql = dwindex(<FILE>);
        my $outsql;
        if (length $insert) { 
                $outsql = getinserts($insql,$insert);
        }
        else {
                print "in else:$insql\n";
                if ($insql =~ m/.*~\w+~.*/) {print "MATCHED IT\n";}
                errmsg(1) && die if ($insql =~ m/.*~\w+~.*/);
                print "pased*********************\n";
                $outsql = $insql;
        }
        close FILE;
        return $outsql;
}
