how to trap errors?

[redss]

I have a program that calls a method from a package, which sometimes makes the program die (all logic & syntax is correct)

How can I make perl trap the error, so that it will continue instead of dying?

eval BLOCK is what you want,

my $foo = eval { $obj->method(@args) };
warn "Oops! ", $@ if $@;

See the documentation for eval.

eval {
  ## code that may throw errors
};
if( $@ ) {
  ## Handle errors
}

eval block do a good work for what you wants, but I recomend you to look of Exception classes or Error class at CPAN site. IMO theses classes implements good practices of exception management.
