traceback on error

incognito129 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

One of the things I like about python, is that when a script exits cause of an error, it spits out a traceback. I'm wondering is there anyway of getting a perl script to do this as well?

As I mentioned in the CB when you asked there, use Carp: `$SIG{__DIE__}= sub { require Carp; Carp::confess(@_); };` [download] - tye	[reply] [d/l]

Also, you can use Carp::Always. Start your script like this: `perl -MCarp::Always script.pl` [download] and it will print backtrace if program die.	[reply] [d/l]
