| Subject: | XML::QL allows XML::Parser to call die() |
I'm using XML::QL for the following query:
WHERE <item><title>\$title</title><link>\$link</link></item>
IN 'http://www.techbargains.com/rss.xml'
CONSTRUCT <a href="\$link">\$title</a>
Since the server www.techbargains.com is temporarily (I hope) down,
after a timeout I get this error:
syntax error at line 1, column 0, byte 0:
500 Can't connect to www.techbargains.com:80 (connect: Invalid argument)
^
at /home/dcoppit/perl/lib/site_perl/XML/Parser.pm line 187
and my program exits. Could you fix XML::QL so that it detects such
connection failures, and doesn't try to have XML::Parser parse the error
message? This way my program can continue to function.
One could argue that modules such as XML::Parser should not just die...
I'm not sure if a bug needs to be filed on that module as well.
