Thx for the warning(!). Just checked and the 1st 2 lines are:

package Test::Trap;

use version; $VERSION = qv('0.1.0');
[download]

so hopefully that's all good. :)

Actually, I already came up with this:

    # Send
    trap { $msg->send or $error_msg = "Error: $! $@\n" };
    $_ and $error_msg .= ": $_\n" for $trap->die, $trap->stdout, $trap
+->stderr;
    exit_with_error("email_csv_file() failed: $error_msg") if( $error_
+msg );
[download]

to try and get everything. Looks ok?

My exit_with_error($msg) sub sends a regular email via Mail::Mailer and prints to the logfile, then cleans up other stuff and and exit(1) etc.
Y, it's a prodn system. No cxn to internet though (and I don't have root), so I have to go through the sysadmin to get extra modules installed like Test::Trap, version.pm etc. Hence the delay in my replies.

Cheers
