Re^3: DBI: pass $dbh from a sub

But I avoided "die" because I don't want my program to end at that point; doesn't "die" exit the program?

...doesn't "die" exit the program? Not when it is in an eval block. eval is perl's way of "trying" a block of code, and die is like throwing an exception, and checking $@ afterward is like catching the exception.	[reply]

OIC! So an eval is like its own little segregated program space?	[reply]
