I am trying to capture a specific sybase error then report that the error occured and the script continued and completed successfully.

Below is code that loads transaction files to a refreshed database. On occasion the files get out of sequence (Sybase ERROR 4305)and the script fails. I want this error to be captured break the foreach loop bring the database on line, leave the subroutine and then continue to the next step.

foreach my $tran_set ( @$trans ) {
    my $i = 0;
    foreach my $stripe ( @$tran_set ) {
    my $localfile = $stripe;
        $localfile =~ s(^.*/)($local_root);
    $stripe = $localfile;
    if ( $i == 0 ) {
        $sql = "load tran $db from \'$stripe\'\n";
    } else {
        $sql .= "stripe on \'$stripe\'\n";
    }
    $i++;
    }
    $$dbh->do($sql)
    or $app->log($FATAL, "Can't do sql statement [ $sql ]: $DBI::errst
+r");
    foreach my $stripe ( @$tran_set ) {
    rmtree($stripe);
    }
}

$sql = "online database $db";

$$dbh->do($sql)
    or $app->log($FATAL, "Can't do sql statement [ $sql ]: $DBI::errst
+r");

}
