Thank you for all your responses. I did a little research and found an article recommending the use of Error.pm for exception handling. http://www.perl.com/pub/a/2002/11/14/exception.html One of the author's reasons is Error.pm uses a mechanism similar to what is being proposed for perl6. RFC 88 describes this: http://dev.perl.org/perl6/rfc/88.html Coming from a C++ background, the OO-nature of Error.pm along with the familiar try {} catch {} syntax is appealing. Just thought I'd share my findings... -Scott -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
