Are filehandles flushed on a die() ?

Need Help??

BazB has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Greetings fellow Monks.

A quick question: are filehandles flushed correctly when perl exits following a die(), croak() or any other exception?

I'm concerned that any log messages sitting in a buffer would be lost.

Cheers.

BazB

Indeed they are. Because `die` is triggered from within `perl` it is dealt with nicely and all the appropriate things are performed upon shutdown as it would if `exit` had been called (more or less). HTH `_________ broquaint`	[reply]
