Re: Win32::Clipboard dying?

[afoken]

~~~A lot of LINE NOISE omitted. ~~~ Can anyone point me to the right direction?

Start by editing your post. Add <code>...</code> around the code. You did notice that you posting was hardly readable when you hit the preview button, didn't you?

Then check if and how Win32::Clipboard reports errors. My guess is $!, $@, or $^E. Add that to the message passed to die.

Update: A quick look at Clipboard.xs and Clipboard.pm shows that there is no explicit error handling, so your best bet may be $^E, which hides a call to GetLastError().

Hi afoken, Sorry, that was my first time using the site and I am fairly new at perl. I have edited the post as per your suggestions. The error message is simple the message that I have written after .... or die "No Image Captured".

Read my posting again. I told you where perl hides more information, and that you should write that information somewhere when an error occurs.

Compare to the usual idiom for opening files:

open my $f,'<',$filename or die "Can't open $filename: $!";
# ***HINT*** ------------------------------------------^^

Also note that $! will most likely not help you, see my first posting.
