I am writing a program that uses an XML control card. I've allowed users to define exceptions within the XML. For instance: 
    <exception>
      <error>No such file or directory</error>
      <action>die</action>
     <message>Verify the file exists on the remote server</message>
   </exception>

After evaluating the method calls, I loop through the exceptions defined by the user. 
  for my $exception (@exceptions) {
    if ($@ =~ /$exception->{error}/) {
      $exception->{action}( &LogMsg( \( "Error", "In action "     .
                                        "$object_hash{name}: "    .
                                        "$exception->{message}\n"
                                      )
                                   ), "\n"
                          );
    }
  }

The problem I am having is with the $exception->{action} call. In the XML above, the action was to die (don't worry, I check to make sure the user uses warn, die, croak, or carp; that is all I allow, for now). The error I receive is that I can't use the string die while strict refs are in place. Am I calling the sub routine correctly? I have exhausted my resources at work. Thank you
