Hi blue_cowdawg,

Well, thanks for your suggestions. I don't have SMS available yet, so I use Mail::Sender like this:

Calling code:

        $loc_sth=$gl_dbh9->prepare($loc_sql_string) or report_die_db( 
+"Can't prepare sql statement" . DBI->errstr.":\n SQL is: $loc_sql_str
+ing", (caller(0))[0]. ":".(caller(0))[1]. ":".(caller(0))[2]);

Reporting code:

sub report_die_db{
#
#    Send emails.
#
    my $message=shift;
    my $line_number=shift;
    #my $loc_location_txt = "Package: ".@{$line_number}[0].", file: ".
+@{$line_number}[1].", line: ".@{$line_number}[2];
    print STDOUT $line_number, "\n", $message;
    my $from = hostname().'@x---------x.com';
    my $msg = "There has been an error at line $line_number. \nThe err
+or message is '$message'. ";
    
    my $sender = send_email("DB Error at line $line_number", $msg, $fr
+om);
    my $result =  $sender->MailMsg({
        msg => $sender->{msg},
    #    file => $sender->{file},
    }) or die "$Mail::Sender::Error\n";
    die "DB Error" . DBI->errstr;
}

Finally dieing anyway, as I don't know if it's safe to continue.
