Re^4: die properly

Ok, that's how I did

eval {
    &feed;
}; unless ( $@ ) {
    &error;
}
sub feed {

          ...code...
    while($l < $2) {
          ...code...
    }
    die "Could not retreive data";

}

And it seems to be working.

If it seems to be working, then it is a remarkable form of working, because the logic is backwards from what dragonchild posted. Notice that after the eval, his code acted on the error if `$@` evaluated to true, while yours acts on the error if `$@` is false (i.e. when there are actually no errors). the lowliest monk	[reply]

But it will not work otherwise, how would you do it?	[reply]
