in reply to question about checking a script for errors from within a perl program

It sounds like you want to enclose your 'require' in an eval block to trap exceptions. 
eval {
  require '/home/path/to/upgrade/files/my_code.conf';
};
if ($@) {
  warn "The require of 'my_code.conf' failed. Here's why: $@\n";
}

"perldoc -f eval" for more information.
