I'm sorry. I did not mean to imply that you were bikeshedding. The point I did not make very well was simply that I've been in many a lively discussion on error handling, and bikeshedding happens somewhat often.

Nor did I mean to bristle at any of your feedback. More that you're preaching to the converted, and if anything, I'm tired of maintaining this module, but it's apparently too proprietary to publish on CPAN, and I'm apparently the only one left who is any good at Perl. But I digress. :-)
