You can do this die "\n";
The newline means die will not print anything out to STDOUT. (other than a new line...) HTH John -----Original Message----- From: Alex Harris [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 21 January 2002 14:22 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: to die, croak, or confess I need to place code that leaves my program entirely if certain errors occur (mostly on opening a file). However I don't want ANY messages going anywhere except my $errlog. (I noticed die, seem to always show a message at the command line). What's the best way to handle say the following then if an error occurs? open(MFILE, $file) _________________________________________________________________ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------Confidentiality--------------------------.
