Re: Module wants to die! How do I handle this?

I would wrap the offending calls in an eval, and then check the value of $@ after to look for errors. See (brief) example below:

eval{&i_will_die};
if(defined($@)){
  # handle the error
}

sub i_will_die
{
   die "Life stinks, I give up\n";
}

$@ seems always to be defined: $ perl -Mstrict -wle 'print defined $@' 1 Therefore you better check for a true value in $@: if ($@) { ... } --Frank	[reply]
