Subject: text_compare.pl does not handle missing files gracefully
If an input file to text_compare does not exist, seems to proceed through the code and errors off very dramatically. Should catch this sooner, and error off more gracefully. CASE 1 ----------------------------------------- text_compare.pl --no-normalize --verbose --type Text::Similarity::Overlaps test1 test2xx (/home/cs/tpederse/MyPerlLib/Text/Similarity.pm:56) Unknown option: compfile (/home/cs/tpederse/MyPerlLib/Text/Similarity/Overlaps.pm:75) The file 'test2xx' does not exist CASE 2 ------------------------------------------ text_compare.pl --type Text::Similarity::Overlaps test1 test2xx (/home/cs/tpederse/MyPerlLib/Text/Similarity.pm:56) Unknown option: compfile (/home/cs/tpederse/MyPerlLib/Text/Similarity/Overlaps.pm:75) The file 'test2xx' does not exist CASE 3 --------------------------------------------- marimba(20): text_compare.pl --type Text::Similarity::Overlaps test1xx test2xx (/home/cs/tpederse/MyPerlLib/Text/Similarity.pm:56) Unknown option: compfile (/home/cs/tpederse/MyPerlLib/Text/Similarity/Overlaps.pm:71) The file 'test1xx' does not exist
This has been corrected in version 0.04. If the input files to text_compare.pl are missing an error message is immediately issued and the program exits.
