I tried using some different exception packages in the past. What I
realized is, die() and eval {} ARE Perl's exception handling mechanism.
die() and eval {}, together, have complete exception throwing and handling
functionality. As a bonus, they lack Java's exception bondage and
discipline.
So, what's wrong with die() and eval {}?
