Re: or DIE adding line number to error

You could use unless and exit. And if you want to see why it fails you can add $!

unless(open(LOG, "< $file")){
    print "Sorry could not open $file - $!","\n";
    exit;
}

Why `print "Sorry could not open $file - $!","\n";` and not `print "Sorry could not open $file - $!\n";`? I know that they're equivalent, but you don't have to put the newline in its own string... thor `Feel the white light, the light within Be your own disciple, fan the sparks of will For all of us waiting, your kingdom will come`	[reply] [d/l] [select]

To be honest I don't know. I was incredibly distracted when I wrote the response. When I originally started to reply no one else had replied yet, I probably should have looked it over better before submitting it. -baztastic	[reply]
