Hi All,
I'm investigating this Error.pm module and can't seem to make it work as advertised. I'm running ActivePerl 5.8.8 on XP.
I created the following custom Exception: 
package DB::DBException;

use base qw(Error);

sub new {
    my ($self, $msg) = @_;

    my @args = ();

    local $Error::Depth = $Error::Depth + 1;
    local $Error::Debug = 1;  # Enables storing of stacktrace

    $self->SUPER::new(-text => $msg, @args);

    return $self;
}

and a test.pl: 
use strict;
use warnings;

use Error qw(:try);
use DB::DBException;

try {
   throw DB::DBException("Connect exception");
   print "OK\n"; 
}
catch DB::DBException with {
    print "DBException";
} catch Error with {
    print "Error";
};
print "finished";

My problem is that the DBException is never caught. This test alwasy ends up on the catch Error block. If I remove the catch Error block, the program then dies at the time the exception is thrown: DB::DBException at C:/Perl/site/lib/Error.pm line 184.
I think I pretty much followed the module example so what I am doing wrong there ?
Thanks for a little word of wisdom
