# exceptions.pl
# [e-mail]
#
# This library is no longer being maintained, and is included for backward
# compatibility with Perl 4 programs which may require it.
#
# In particular, this should not be used as an example of modern Perl
# programming techniques.
#
#
# Here's a little code I use for exception handling.  It's really just
# glorfied eval/die.  The way to use use it is when you might otherwise
# exit, use &throw to raise an exception.  The first enclosing &catch
# handler looks at the exception and decides whether it can catch this kind
# (catch takes a list of regexps to catch), and if so, it returns the one it
# caught.  If it *can't* catch it, then it will reraise the exception
# for someone else to possibly see, or to die otherwise.
#
# I use oddly named variables in order to make darn sure I don't conflict
# with my caller.  I also hide in my own package, and eval the code in his.
#
# The EXCEPTION: prefix is so you can tell whether it's a user-raised
# exception or a perl-raised one (eval error).
#
# --tom
#
# examples:
#    if (&catch('/$user_input/', 'regexp', 'syntax error') {
#        warn "oops try again";
#        redo;
#    }
#
#    if ($error = &catch('&subroutine()')) { # catches anything
#
#    &throw('bad input') if /^$/;
