WWW::Selenium terminates program on object not found - not expected -Expects something like try- catch in java

[Selva123]

Hello PerlMonks,

I am automating testcases with Selenium RC and PERL using WWW::Selenium. Whenever the object not found, the perl script exits/terminates execution with message as "Looks like your test exited with 255 before it could output anything.."

I did not expect this behavior, instead it should show some error in command prompt/log and should proceed further.

Is there any process to make the PERL /Selenium to work like this, such as try -(Statement execution ) catch () {} as in JAVA.

Thx Selva D

try is spelled eval in Perl 5.

Perl has eval as its built in exception handling facility but there are modules like Error.pm that provide a SEH extension to Perl.

However Error.pm is depracated and should look for other modules like maybe TryCatch
