It still just croaks as usual. Any ideas? > there are at least a couple of ways of doing that: #!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; BEGIN{ use subs qw(Carp::die); use vars qw($e); sub Carp::die{ $e = "Carp::die: @_" } } use Carp; croak "croaking"; print "after croak \$e is: $e"; __END__ prints: after croak $e is: Carp::die: croaking at x.pl line 10 another way to accomplish the same thing: #!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; BEGIN{ our $e; *CORE::GLOBAL::die = sub{ $e = "CORE:GLOBAL::die => @_"; }; } use Carp; use vars qw($e); croak "croaking"; print "after croak \$e is: $e"; __END__ prints: after croak $e is: CORE:GLOBAL::die => croaking at x.pl line 10 i don't have time to check out the source of Carp.pm but if you do, i would suggest you go take a look as there might be a better solution to it. out of the 2 methods i described, the second one is more natural, imo. david -- sub'_{print"@_ ";* \ = * __ ,\ & \} sub'__{print"@_ ";* \ = * ___ ,\ & \} sub'___{print"@_ ";* \ = * ____ ,\ & \} sub'____{print"@_,\n"}&{_+Just}(another)->(Perl)->(Hacker) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
