Shell Programming and Scripting

Thanks for your response. I know the filename is invalid.Basically am trying to workout on the exception handling mechanism, where exceptions from all the above statements like,creating ftp object,loggging,change directory etc are trapped in $@ and print only if i give a print statement in the catch block or if($@) block.

But in this case alone ie,putting the file to remote server,error is thrown to the STDOUT/STDERR along with trapping it in $@.I am wondering about this behaviour and looking for the reason and solution.

Unfortunately, the possibility you had given(comma) is not the trum card!

Hi,

I got a little clue about the reason.Thanks otheus to make me look into the source code of Net::FTP module.Your doubt is correct,this module is the core reason for this behaviour

In this module,in situations like can't able to open the file due to permissions,invalid filename etc. 'carp' method in 'Carp' module is called,which will act exactly like inbuilt method 'warn'.The exceptions or control thrown using 'warn' is not possible to trap using a $@ and it won't be get set in this case also.So the message is thrown out to the STDOUT/STDERR.

One question i have to you guys is how to trap or prevent this from being printed into the console.I know i can do it by redirecting the output or error message and all.But i want it to be trapped...Anyone please!

You can set up a pseudo-signal handler $SIG{__WARN__} to circumvent or modify warnings.

Hi,

Let me try out that era. Thanks for your help guys!

If you don't have the latest version of this module, get it from CPAN. If you do have it, bitch to the authors -- that sounds like sloppy module writing to me. Good luck on your project!

Sure.Let me check.Thanks otheus
