Hi,
I'm trying to catch errors on readflex using
eval{$x=readflex($filename)} || message ("Reading $filename
failed,mb::Error);
This runs into the mutlielement-piddle-in-conditional issue since eval
returns the piddle.
I am using some dummy operation on the loaded data,
eval{($x=readflex($filename))->nelem} || message ("Reading $filename
failed,mb::Error);
but it feels very ugly. Wouldn't it be better to return false or undef
instead of dying in some way when this case occurs? I remember there was
a recent discussion on the list, but I forgot what the result was.
Just a thought, though, please ignore if you believe the current
handling is working as wanted.
Ingo
