Capture OLE Execption

[vamsinm]

Hello Perl Monks, I am trying to write a perl script that captures Serverice status on the servers with a specific username. the script reads the server list from a text file and ping to verify if the server is online and then connects to wmi using SWbemLocator using the admin username. i want to capture when the script fails to connect to wmi and update the excel sheet against the server name. but the script just errors out and stops. can some one please help me how to capture this error and store in the output report.

Error: OLE exception from "SWbemLocator": Access is denied. Win32::OLE(0.1709) error 0x80070005: "Access is denied" in METHOD/PROPERTYGET "ConnectServer" at ServiceCheck.pl line 102.

Line 102 :  my $objWMIService = $locatorObj->ConnectServer($host, "root\\cimv2", $user, $pwd);

The exception-handling mechanism in Perl is eval{}.   Also consider Try::Tiny.
