Dear brothers and systers!

Preface

I've read a node Learning how to use the Error module by example. There was hot discussion about using try/catch block. I can't give you any examples of situations when I had some problems with it. But I can tell you that using of try/catch helps me appreciably. Because I develop a big project on Perl - billing system and I have Perl classes and Embperl scripts and I need catch exceptions, do some actions for saving of normal running of application and display to user some friendly message.

Question

I'd like to know your opinion about catch exception in big projects on Perl. Of course, I know about eval and %SIG, but is it good and only one solution?

Thanks in advanced.
