I'm using WWW::Mechanize to read a particular webpage in a loop that runs every few seconds. Occasionally, the 'GET' times out and the script stops running. How can I recover from one such timeout such that it continues the loop and tries the 'GET' the next time around?
Use eval
:
eval {
my $resp = $mech->get($url);
$resp->is_success or die $resp->status_line;
# your code
};
if ($@) {
print "Recovered from a GET error\n";
}
The eval
block will catch any error while GETing the page.
