Maybe I've trying to over-think things here (or import concepts from other languages ...)I'm trying to implement this: http://www.perl.com/pub/a/2002/11/14/exception.html?page=2

the script that uses the packages looks like this: 

use Error qw(:try);

use RemoteException;

try {
    somefunction(1);
} catch DeployException with {
    my $ex = shift;
    print "wibble\n";
} catch RemoteException with {
    my $ex = shift;
    print "dibble\n";
} catch WineException with {
    my $ex =shift;
    print "chinup\n";
};

sub somefunction {
    my $h =shift;
    throw WineException("hello world") if $h==1;
    return;
}

So I'm trying to "bring" the DeployException, RemoteException and WineException into the same namespace? as the rest. Now it will not print "chinup"; rather stopping at the RemoteException clause.

Apologies, I now realise that I'm actually asking a question about Error.pm, not the use statement. Is there another package which is slightly more usable?
