Syntax Error if try block added

[Amps]

Hi

If i add the try block it says syntex error at initlialization of for loop .

Non -working code ...

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
        try
        {
        print " 11111111111  ";
    }
    catch
    {
        print " 2222222222 ";
    }

    for (my $i = 0 ; $i < 5; $i++)
    {
            print " wwww ";
        }

If i remove the try block it works ... can you please tell me you is it so and how does it work properly ?

Perl has no such inbuilt functions/operators try and catch.

look in to this module.

TryCatch.PM

use eval unless you really want to think of perl like C.

http://perldoc.perl.org/functions/eval.html

I assume the module is just a wrapper around eval but I haven't looked at the source code.

just add semicolon at the end of the catch block. ;-)))))
