Error:IO problem

rohitspathak123

Hi all ,

I am using Error.pm for error handling in perl .
try , catch & finally are working fine , but when i try to catch errors with Error::IO it is giiving me error as follows "not able to find Error:IO"

When I opened Error.pm , I saw that Error::IO was missing .

Could any one let me know the correct site from where I can get Error.pm .

I took Error.pm from cpan site
http://search.cpan.org/src/SHLOMIF/Error-0.17/lib/Error.pm

Below is my perl program
#!D:\G_DUMP\CMS\IWOV_Dump\iw-perl\bin\iwperl
use Error qw(:try);
try {

open (HANDLE , "test.txt");
print $var
}
catch Error::IO with
{
print "File does not exsists";
}
finally
{
print "finally";
}

Regards

I haven't used this module, but I think that the mention of Error::IO in the perldoc is meant as an example of the kind of thing you can sub-class - or - something which may potentially be provided in Perl 6 - not something which is actually supplied for Perl 5. This may also be why the version of Error.pm is less than 1.0 - i.e., still a work in progress.

You might try contacting the author and/or maintainer of the module (see info at end of perldoc) to get an authoritative answer though.
