in reply to Where did $@ go?

I think Exception::Died is eating it, which that module uses.

    The docs show an example of:
    print ref $@; # "Exception::Died"
    Indicating that it converts plain strings or whatever into objects. But I'm getting no string back from  ref $@ at all, not "Exception::Died" or any other class name.

    That is, I should still see something is in $@ and be able to figure out what to do with it using data dumper, ref, etc.
