hi
I'd like to learn to program good perl ... I think one element to achieve that is to provide hirarchichal exceptions. But since this is something that is not included in Perl, I try to use the 'Exception::Class' module. For some reasons it's hard for me to find a start. I've tried to write a simple script with a classic x/0 error: 

#!/usr/bin/env perl

use Exception::Class
      ( 'MyException' );

  # try
  eval { 
    (my $result = (23/0)) || 
MyException->throw( error => 'I feel funny.' ) };

  # my $e;
  # catch
  if ( my $e = Exception::Class->caught('MyException') )
  {
    warn $e->error, "\n", $e->trace->as_string, "\n";
     warn join ' ',  $e->euid, 
$e->egid, $e->uid, $e->gid, $e->pid, $e->time;
     exit;
  }
  else
  {
     $e = Exception::Class->caught();
     ref $e ? $e->rethrow : die $e; 
  }

But the error is not catched by my custom exception handling, but by some system error. Output 
perl "exception-class-test.pl"
Illegal division by zero

but I look for 
I feel funny

Any ideas?
thanks in advance.
