The best tool for this is Capture::Tiny.
I won't disagree with David.
Capture and then test the caught value with an is() or like() is quite
straight forward, so I still won't disagree with David.

However OTOH, the testing community would likely recommend considering as
the idiomatic and declarative testing way either
*Test::Most* & *Test::Exception* 's syntactic sugar *throws_ok() *
throws_ok {block under test} qr/regex/, q(explanation);
I do both, and whichever one I use depends on the circumstances.
or the post-modern *Test2::Tools::Exception* 's *dies*()
like(
dies { die 'xxx' },
qr/xxx/,
"Got exception"
);
There's nothing post-modern about Test2! I don't think I'd want to use a
post-modern testing tool which said "that's not really a failure, it's
all subjective, and what is truth anyway" :-)
Using Test2's `dies` like this is fine, but where Test2 really comes
into its own IMO is in its improved tools for mocking.
