or &Error("Could not pen the file a.txt" ; Then in your Error sub you do what ever you want to do with that error. I have used this and considered expanding it to include error codes in warning/fatal ranges etc but have not yet felt the need. This is what mine does (The $log->msg liones are from Log::Simple.): sub Error { local ($errormessage) = @_; if (defined $log) { $log->msg(1,$errormessage); } print "\n\nERROR:\t" . $errormessage . "\n\n" ; # rollback DB if it was connected if (defined $dbh ) { $rc = $dbh->rollback ; } if (defined $log) { $log->msg(1,"Rollback:\t",$rc,"\n"); } print "\nCalling cleanup to close connections and rollback etc...\n" ; Cleanup(); if ($SendEmailNotification) { $subjmodifier= " - ERROR" ; $EmailBody = $errormessage; PrepEmailNotification($subjmodifier,$EmailBody,@FileList); } else { if (defined $log) { $log->msg(1,"Email notification disabled\n"); } } Perhaps a more experienced Perl Monger might comment on that approach in general ?
