Re: How to catch Net::FTP timeouts ?

[steves]

You can catch anything using eval blocks:

eval {$ftp->get("that.file")};
if ($@ =~ /Timeout/)
{
   # catching code goes here
}

Net::FTP also lets you set the timeout value, so you could try increasing it if that's the problem.

steves,
You can catch anything using eval blocks:

Absolutes are seldom absolute....

eval { exit };
print "I caught it\n" if $@;
