How can I get a traceback in Perl?

How do I force a stack backtrace for all fatal errors in Perl?

One of the things I like about Python, is that when a script exits because of an error, it spits out a traceback. I'm wondering is there anyway of getting a Perl to do this as well?

Solution

  • Add this to the top of your script:

    use Carp 'verbose';
$SIG{ __DIE__ } = sub { Carp::confess( @_ ) };

    It will create a stack trace on all fatal errors.
