Exactly. Most examples I saw are doing this, but since I don't catch any
signals anywhere else in my application, I think I don't need it. On the
other hand, you never know about other libraries / modules, so I
probably will do it nevertheless. After all, it won't hurt (to my best
knowledge).

Yes, I'll follow everybody's advice and use eval, but I won't use $@.
The only thing I must know is if DateTime -> new() inside the eval has
died or not, so I'll just test if the eval return undef.
Thanks for your help!
