Re: Catch XML error

Try wrapping in eval:

my $value;
eval {
    $value = $record1->getAttribute('value1');
};
next FILE if ( $@ );

Note the scope. Define the variable outside the eval, or you'll only be able to use it in the block.

Note that the eval will catch all errors, not just this one. It might be prudent to look at the contents of `$@` (see perlvar) to see if the error you caught is really the one you want to skip silently. `my $value; eval { $value = $record1->getAttribute('value1'); }; if ( $@ ) { next FILE if ( $@ =~ /^duplicate attribute/ ); die $@; }` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]
