in reply to Re^6: eval to replace die?
in thread eval to replace die?

No. I reach there by extrapolation from your "It doesn't perform a regular expression match, for one."

You say that, thereby implying that regular expressions are a bad thing.

I just take your words to their logical conclusion. It's called proof by contradiction; or disproof by "Reductio ad absurdum".

If regular expressions are so bad for exception handling; why would they be reliable for anything else?
