Capture XMLin errors

jpk236 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hello fellow monks,

I have a script which parses a series of XML files. Some the files have shown to have XML syntax issues, or even be blank all together.

Is there a way to capture the error output of XMLin() -- from XML::Simple -- to provide better error messages or to even completely kill the script if a certain case were to appear.

Thanks!

- Justin

I have never used XML::Simple but did you read the documentation which covers Error Handling? See also Perl-XML FAQ. Hope this helps. Martin	[reply]

just use block eval and `$@` as anywhere else where you need to catch exceptions	[reply] [d/l]
