STDIO handleing

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

Hi, monks! Again sorry for my bad english =) I'm using DBI::DBM and my script has such a logic:

...
$sql->execute;
    if(check($sql->errstr) == 0){return 0;}
    switch ($i){...}
[download]

So..$sql->execute returns errstr and check() than takes it and parses it, and based on a parsing result returns a value..it works ok, but execute returns errstr value to STDOUT, but in some situations i dont want it to be printed. So..are there some ways of handling if STDOUT is accesed by a specific func? Thanks a lot in advance!

Maybe you want to unset PrintError, and/or use HandleError instead?	[reply]

Or set `RaiseError` and catch the exception after an `eval` block. That's my favorite DBI trick. -- sgifford's Web page	[reply] [d/l] [select]
