Where on earth are my errors messages?

[1DMF]

Hi,

I have some DBI code wrapped in a try/catch (Try::Tiny) clause.

try
{
        # Run SQL Command
        my $sth = $db->prepare("$sel") || die "Error in getSQL ($error): $sel";
        $sth->execute();
}
catch
{
        die "$_ - $! - $@ - $DBI::errstr - $DBI::err";
};

Any error from try tiny is meant to be passed to the catch clause via $_,

As you can see I've tried every error variable I can think off, but all I get output is

- - - - -

How do I find out why the code is falling over?

Where is the error message?

Thanks,
1DMF

I don't know what is going on but it seems impossible to use DBI & Try::Tiny.

I found that using warnings and carp was taking away any catch clause error message.

So I stopped using warnings and carp and now DBI is throwing some ridiculous error that isn't true and still $_ is empty in the catch clause and I have to use $!

I do a simple insert of a record into a table and the try::catch is triggering with a message.

Result too large

Huh? What result? The only return I ask for from DBI is number of records inserted

$rec = $sth->rows;

Which is 1, how can that be too large?

1DMF <<<< baffled!

I'm not sure what DBI is doing, but no matter what I am unable to put my code in a Try::Tiny clause without it triggering failure.

I switched to an eval and it seems to work fine?
