A standard way to catch errors is to use die (or Carp), in combination with eval. But since I prefer Try::Tiny, I'm going to use that.
For example:
#!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; use Try::Tiny; $main::errorA = 1; $main::errorB = 1; sub methodA { if ($main::errorA) { die "Something went wrong in methodA"; } } sub methodB { my ($handle) = @_; &$handle(); if ($main::errorB) { die "Something went wrong in methodB"; } } ## end sub methodB my $rowHandle = \&methodA; try { methodB($rowHandle); } catch { print ("ERROR: " . $_); }
This results in:
ERROR: Something went wrong in methodA at ./monks24.pl line 12. (monks24.pl being the name of the executable).
This is because errorA is checked before errorB.
If you'd set errorA to 0 (meaning all is well in methodA), you'd get this:
ERROR: Something went wrong in methodB at ./monks24.pl line 20.
