Actually, traces are now _always_ created. And by default they're shown when stringifying the exception object. To turn this off you do: Exception::Class::Base->Trace(0); To turn it off for one branch of the hierarchy, do: My::Exception::Subclass->Trace(0); to turn it back on for a branch below that, do: My::Exception::Subclass::SubSubClass->Trace(1); I'm also planning to add some more features to it. One is something we're using with Mason, where we create convenience subs for throwing exceptions so we can do: param_error "Missing 'foo' in call to new"; instead of: HTML::Mason::Exception::Params->throw( error => "Missing 'foo' in call to new" ); plus as an added bonus the first version gets compile time checking of the sub name, versus runtime checking of the class name in the second. -dave /*================== www.urth.org we await the New Sun ==================*/
