Stas Beckman's mod_perl guide has a nice section on exception handling in perl. http://thingy.kcilink.com/modperlguide/perl/Exception_Handling_for_mod_perl.html The only thing that I had to figure out was how to do the same thing using the C API to Perl. I can't remember where I found out how to set $@, but I think I was digging through someone else's XS code. > > > Probably I'm just frustrated from my repeated efforts to track down > > > misbehavior under AIX.
