I don't know about the Frontier module in particular, but the eval SHOULD work. You could try http://sourceforge.net/projects/xml-simpledb or at least the driver for Xindice in that (XML/DB/Database/Xindice.pm) which uses RPC::XML (with calls wrapped in evals) and see if that gives you the same problem. The driver is for Xindice1.0, NOT the version in CVS. Though in my case, I'm not converting the exceptions to error codes, simply passing them up the chain by die-ing again after they've been caught. Graham (As far as I know, no-one but me has ever used this package so you are very likely to find other things wrong with it. If you do, please mail me off-list, so as not to clutter up the lists!)
