Re: Re: Re: Re: script dies with 'broken pipe'-message, even in eval

Hi,

I'm sorry, the '$dbh->execute' was a typo, I fixed it in the original question.

My $dbh is initialised like this:

 $dbh = DBI->connect($sql_dsn, $sql_schema, $sql_auth);
 $dbh->{LongReadLen} = $LongReadLen;

Don't think the LongReadLen has anything to do with this.

I haven't tried using RaiseError, but then the question still remains why my eval doesn't trap the 'broken pipe' error? I don't want my program to die that easily on me.

Using eval to try and catch errors with DBI code is useless unless you set RaiseError on. Try that and possibly something like... `local $SIG{PIPE} = sub {die "Unable to execute"};` [download] before the execute you know is going to fail.	[reply] [d/l]
