Re^2: File::Util list_dir question
in thread File::Util list_dir question
No biggie. The interface of File::Util is non intuitive. Normally a method fatals (dies) or returns some kind of false on failure. File::Util does nothing of this.
It uses a halb baked homegrown error handler that, believe it or not, calls exit on a 'fatal' error (like not being able to recurse into a directory).
That's why you cannot trap it with eval nor with try{}catch{} (at least until said flag is specified).
