<don't cc to language> i have not seen any posted (on dev.perl.org) rfc's on exception handling or errors. i would like someone to take one or both on and post it to flow. there was some discussion in language on those subjects but the threads have petered out (or have been drowned :-). so let's see some proposals for a throw/catch typeof thing or a more universal way to propogate errors. i, of course wouldn't mind seeing some form of callbacks. i am in favor of dropping %SIG altogether. my signals rfc (should be done tonight) can be modified/copied to support error callbacks of various types including the warning and die ones we have now. uri -- Uri Guttman --------- [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---------- http://www.sysarch.com SYStems ARCHitecture, Software Engineering, Perl, Internet, UNIX Consulting The Perl Books Page ----------- http://www.sysarch.com/cgi-bin/perl_books The Best Search Engine on the Net ---------- http://www.northernlight.com
