OK, yes, it *is* very similar in principle - I would perhaps have been
better to have added to Graham's code, but I suffer from False Hubris :)
My code coexists better with CGI and, in particular, mod_perl
(Apache::Registry and Apache::PerlRun) - adding code for HTML output is
trivial, and I at least attempt to cope with exceptions raised within
exception handlers and "finally" blocks, but apart from that there are
minor advantages either way: I prefer my syntax (but then I would :) and
allow matching of exceptions by regexp against error text and exception
name as well as class; Error.pm allows try {} to return lists as well as
scalars (something I may add), has an "otherwise" clause for which I can
see no particular use at all and I haven't (yet) subclassed Exception.pm
to provide the sort of functionality Error::IO provides.
The implementations are, of course, significantly different internally;
which is better I leave up to the reader - I do trap $SIG{__DIE__} which
many would regard as a hanging offence (but then so does Apache::Debug).
