Re: opening missing file inside eval statement

You don't show us what you actually tried. The following works for me:

if (! open INFH, "<$file") {
    warn "Error opening '$file': $!";
};

this is exactly what i tried and perl didn't catch the error when the file was missing. `open (INFH, "<$file") {` [download] I only got an error later when i tried to read from it.	[reply] [d/l]

What you show is not even valid Perl (or when it is, it is a snippet, meaningless in itself). Either post the minimal exact code that produces the problem for you, so we can help you better by reproducing the error ourselves. Or run the code I posted above, and look at what output it produces.	[reply]
