Hi all, I wanted to test what happens if Perl encounters an error when reading a utf8 encoded file.
Here a minimal example: #! /usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; my $fname = $ARGV[0]; open my $fh, '<:encoding(UTF-8)', $fname or die "Couldn't open file: $fname"; my $string = <$fh>; close $fh; print "Reaching the end\n"; Running it on a file where I had inserted a hex \x90 gives the following error message which is fine. utf8 "\x90" does not map to Unicode at ./read_utf8.pl line 11. Reaching the end Question: The error above goes to stderr which basically is ok. Hovever, I want to take action in my script if such an error occurs. How do I notice it programmatically? -- Thanks, Manfred -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: beginners-unsubscr...@perl.org For additional commands, e-mail: beginners-h...@perl.org http://learn.perl.org/
