In Perl, yes. It's different for most strongly typed languages though I believe. There an exception bubbles up the stack of error handlers until it reaches one that feels responsible for it. Or none, but then it crashes the program.

There are Perl modules that attempt to provide such a mechanism, at least TryCatch and Syntax::Feature::Try (I only say "attempt" because I haven't tested them myself). See also Task::Kensho::Exceptions and Exception::Class.	[reply]
