in reply to Using Perl Exception Class

You don't tell us what concept of "structured exception" you are using. If you are using one of the modules on CPAN, like Exception::Class or Exception, have you looked at the documentation?

If you think implementing your own mechanism makes sense, take a look at eval and/or Try::Tiny.

As an aside, the code you posted does not compile. Perl does not like the kinds of quotes you use:

”Performing the command” # should be "Performing the command"
‘MyException’ # should be 'MyException'

        Hi Corion, I'm sorry about this..I'm really ignorant about exceptions...

        As of now, I have a module of the kind 

        package MyExceptions;

use strict;
use warnings;

use Exception::Class (
    'MyExceptions',
    'MyExceptions::RegionNotFound' =>
    { isa => 'MyExceptions' },
    'MyExceptions::CommandNotExecuted' =>
    { isa => 'MyExceptions' }
);

        [download]
        The other module is 
        
package ReportGenerator;

use strict;
use warnings;

sub CheckResult {
   my ( $result, $info ) = @_;
   #Here is want to check of $result and throw an exception of the kin
+d MyExceptions::RegionNotFound->throw(error => 'bad number');
#I'm not sure how to do this..
}
1;

        The user would inturn script something like this $Report->CheckResult($ABC->Command(100,100),"Tapping Home");

        Thanks for your help..
