    I think perrin's post may be out of date. There have been over half-a-dozen releases this spring closing various RT bugs and stabilizing it. That said, I think Exception::Class has more mileage on it and may be a better choice.

      No, I'm afraid all of my warnings about Error still apply. They are fundamental issues with the design and the limitations of perl's sub prototypes.

        No, not all of them. I heard a rumor that the memory leak is gone now.
