Re: Best way to replace 'die' with 'warn'

in reply to Best way to replace 'die' with 'warn'

Perhaps someone more knowledgeable could clarify, but perlmod seems to indicate that you can set the %SIG hash as a package variable, so you could do something like this:

use Weather::Com;
$Weather::Com::SIG{__DIE__} = sub { warn(@_) };

I think that would cover every call to die() from within the Weather::Com package. Inspection of @_ within your new handler could let it die if something was really a big problem.

That works nicely! Though I still have to wrap each function call with an eval... I still hope that a seasoned "monk" could verify that other than changing the behavior of die, the addition of the 'eval' command won't change the behavior of anything else. Or if it does, then help me understand what other side effects adding 'eval' could have	[reply]
