I wonder if he also meant this: 

if (test_conditions(@info)) {
  eval(do_something(@info));
  warn "Failed to do whatever because '$@'" if ($@);
} else {
  # handler method for whenever something is 'screwed up'
  # such as when test_conditions() fails...
  something_screwed_up();
}

ps: actually, I'm sure there might be quite a few implementations for the original 'pseudo' code since it contains some uncommon language constructs/flow. Say,  if(..) { } unless {} isn't something you find in a standard pseudo code? Also the meaning of the 'unless' keyword is a bit vague.

print join(" ", map { sprintf "%#02x", $_ }unpack("C*",pack("L",0x1234
