MS Try Catch block

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

Ok, so I'm using the MSXML parser and ActiveState Perl distribution. I have an xsl and xml file and I'm using the DOMDocument object through Win32::OLE interface to transform the xml to html. I am having a hard time debugging because I can't get the exeptions that DOMDocument->transformNodeToObject($stylesheet,$outputOBJ) generates.

In the MS documentation for the XSL SDK they have a try catch block that catches exeptions from the above method. How do I get at that with Perl? This has me utterly confused.

Thanks for the wisdom in advance.

ps: no tomato throwing because I'm using MS parser ok?

This has been R A D...

See try / catch: use eval to catch errors.	[reply]

There is a pretty good article about using the MSXML parser at perl.com (MSXML, It's Not Just for VB Programmers Anymore). The article includes quite a few examples of error catching and an example of the `DOMDocument->transformNodeToObject` method. Just out of curiosity, why are you using MSXML rather than one of the perl XML modules such as XML::XPath, XML::DOM or XML::Twig? ---- Coyote	[reply] [d/l]
