[Wtr-general] OT: Need help Trapping Errors in Ruby

[Paul Carvalho]

page_set is just a local variable used to call the method name that I want
to execute.

I'm basically calling a method (e.g. 'walk_Public_Pages') from within a
method (page_set_to_check) that is supposed to trap the errors/exceptions.

However, if there's an error in the 'walk_Public_Pages' method, it not only
escapes out of the page_set_to_check() method, but also out of the whole
script!

I'm wondering if changing the main "module" to a "class" will have a
different effect?  Just a shot in the dark.  I'm chasing another goose at
the moment, so I'll try that shortly.

P.C.
