I like it a lot. It gives the advantages of both the flexible, more robust try/catch, and the (locally) concise, clear error return. The only problem I see is that most people (i don't know why) argue that 'use fatal' should be off by default. Your proposal still makes a lot of sense even if 'use fatal' is optional, though. -- () Yuval Kogman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 0xEBD27418 perl hacker & /\ kung foo master: /me climbs a brick wall with his fingers: neeyah!
