Hello shmem,

Why don't we have @@ as an error stack, ...?

FWIW, Exception::Class::TryCatch:

...provides for a method to push errors onto a hidden error stack immediately after an eval so that cleanup code or other error handling may also call eval without the original error in $@ being lost.

For example:

#! perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use Exception::Class::TryCatch;

try eval
{
    my $bar = baz();
    die 'baz failed!' if $@;
};

if (my ($second, $first) = (catch, catch))
{
    print "(1) $first(2) $second";
}

sub baz
{
    try eval "1 = 2";
}

Output:

18:09 >perl 1447_SoPW.pl
(1) Can't modify constant item in scalar assignment at (eval 4) line 1
+, at EOF
(2) baz failed! at 1447_SoPW.pl line 9.

Hope that’s of interest,
