Re^2: Nmap::Scanner breaks my while loop, I think

I really dont know what ->scan does upon errors. What I have tried is this:

my $results;
eval{ $results = $scanner->scan("-v -sP $r[0]/$r[1]"); };
print STDERR "Error catched: $@\n" if($@);

But, this does not catch it. The while loop still ends right there.

The while loop still ends right there. Are you sure? Is not it one line later? You should not call `$results->get_host_list();` [download] if `$results` is empty.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Yes, I am pretty sure. This code: `print STDERR "\nNetwork $r[0], mask $r[1]\n"; my $scanner = new Nmap::Scanner; my $results; print STDERR "Start Scan\n"; eval{ $results = $scanner->scan("-v -sP $r[0]/$r[1]"); }; print STDERR "Error catched: $@\n" if($@); print STDERR "Scan complete\n";` [download] Yeilds this output: `Network xx.xx.xx.xx, mask yy Start Scan Scan complete Network 10.8.165.160, mask 28 Start Scan <nmap-error> <pid="18142"/> <cmdline="'/usr/bin/nmap' -v -v -v -v -sP 10.8.165.160/28 -oX -"/> <nmap-err>RTTVAR has grown to over 2.3 seconds, decreasing to 2.0 </nmap-msg> </nmap-error>` [download] ie the two last prints are not executed	[reply] [d/l] [select]
