Re: Control Structures

I like using a goto in those situations. :-) But others will surely beat me down for that. :-)

Or how about a DIE signal handler?

#!/usr/bin/perl

$SIG{__DIE__} = sub {
      open my $h, ">>", "fatal.log";
       print $h scalar localtime, ": @_";
       close $h;
  die @_;
};

die "ouch $!\n";

I've dealt with code that uses goto for error handling. Suffice it to say that there is a reason that exception systems were invented...	[reply]

I think I'll take the simple approach and restructure my program like gellyfish recommends, but thanks though. The above looks a little tricky, as I am struggling with a simple `if/else` ;-) Walking the road to enlightenment... I found a penguin and a camel on the way..... Fancy a yourname@perl.me.uk?
