Re: "or die" question

[Prasanna Kothari]

interchange may work.
{
syslog("LOG_ALERT","Could not open test file");
die "  ..............";
}

or look for help of "eval "

After a failed open, I want to run two statements for an "or die".

Code Quesiton:

open (TEST, ">/tmp/test")
    or {
        die "Could not open test file\n";
        syslog("LOG_ALERT","Could not open test file");
         };

This does not work, but what is the "right" way to do this? I know I could write a MyDie sub and pass a string to it.
