In Perl, you also have to handle the condition of a runtime error which is not an object:
You could always encapsulate the extra test in some code:
sub exception (;$) {
my $wanted_exception = shift;
return unless $@;
return 1 unless defined $wanted_exception;
return ref($@) && $@->isa( $wanted_exception )
};
allowing you to do:
eval { $coderef->() };
if ( exception 'IOException' ) {
... handle IOException ...
} elsif ( exception 'OtherException' ) {
... handle OtherException ...
} elsif ( exception ) {
... handle all other exceptions ...
} else {
... we lived ...
};
Sure, you have an extra ref test and subroutine call, but since exceptions should be... well... exceptional it shouldn't impact your runtime speed much.

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).
