Hi all!

I'm looking for a way to add to an error subroutine the ability
to print the line number that an error occured at.  For example,
if I run an external program like `prog`, and then check the
return code variable $?, I'd like to exit if there was an
error and also print to a log file the line number of the Perl
script where the error occured.  The script we use have quite a
number of external program calls, and we'd like to know where it
blows up.

Any suggestions would be appreciated, and thanks in advance.
