Run your code inside an eval block, which will trap any "die" messages. eval { ... code here that might fail ... ... open AA, "a.txt" or die "cannot open a.txt: $!"; ... ... more code that might fail ... ... }; if ($@) { # there was an error open LOGFILE, ">>logfile" or die "now we're really in trouble :)"; print LOGFILE localtime . ":$@"; close LOGFILE; die $@; # rethrow the error for the error log as well } For further information on eval, see "perldoc -f eval". -- Randal L.
