How can I handle errors in Perl?

In Perl, you can handle errors using the eval block to catch exceptions. Would you like an example?

Yes, please provide an example of using eval.

Sure! Here's a simple example:

my $result = eval { risky_function() };
if ($@) {
    print "Error: $@";
} else {
    print "Result: $result";
}

This will catch any errors from risky_function.

What if I want to use die for error handling?

You can use die to throw an error and eval to catch it. For example:

sub risky_function {
    die "Something went wrong!";
}

my $result = eval { risky_function() };
if ($@) {
    print "Caught error: $@";
}
