Hi Hippo

Here is one of the links that talks about exceptions not being part of Perl. My bad again, I got mixed up with errors and exceptions, and if you berate me for that I would totally understand- https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/mastering-perl/9780596527242/ch12.html

Given below is paragraph from the chapter -

Exceptions Perl doesn’t have exceptions. Let’s just get that clear right now. Lik +e some other things Perl doesn’t really have, people have figured out + how to fake them. If you’re used to languages, such as Java or Pytho +n, set the bar much lower so you aren’t too disappointed. In those ot +her languages, exceptions are part of the fundamental design, and tha +t’s how I’m supposed to deal with all errors. Exceptions aren’t part +of Perl’s design, and it’s not how Perl programmers tend to deal with + errors.

Unfortunately I could not find other links. I was just going from one article to another and that is how I stumbled across the said articles.

Note:- I am not hear to badmouth about Perl. Just really badly wanting to get some clarity (which the ensuing answers have provided in truckloads).

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
