in reply to A problem with tie

Why are you saying it's the "tie"? Looks like the open TEST to me.

    Wish it was but if you add some sort of flag to the die statements you still crash on the 'tie': 
    C:>test
Uncaught exception from user code:
        [tie]Couldn't open C:/Perl/site/lib/Chess/PGN/db/ECO: No such 
+file or directory
 at C:\Perl_Dev\Openings for Russ\test.pl line 19

      I suggest that you update the top node to use different messages for the "open" die and the "tie" die. Something as simple as changing "Couldn't open" to "Couldn't tie". Also, you might want to add a message after the close statement to show explicitly that you're getting past that stage.

      Some people may go through your code to find which die is at line 19, but clearly the first few posters here didn't. It's all about helping people highlight what's going wrong. (Though I think that my reply elsewhere answers what's going wrong)
