This session teaches how to use structured exception handling in Perl code. It covers the use of eval{}, $SIG{__DIE__}, throwing exception objects, and some exception classes.
Beginning with exception handling as a technique for propogating errors better than return codes and $!, we progress up to the details of Perl's exception handling mechanism: die, and discuss ways of catching exceptions.
Finally we will cover best practices, and modules.
