Remember this is open source so you are free to check for yourself.
Net::SMTP inherits from Net::Cmd. Which means you can check the error
message, code, or status from the object itself through the inherited
methods, 'message', 'code', 'status'.
perldoc Net::Cmd for more
This is generally for methods that are causing some network interaction.
For other methods most likely catching an error is for an obvious
reason, if you have a question about a particular method check the
source or ask for that specific method and one of the gurus will check
what it can return...
