This Week on perl5-porters - 1-6 June 2008 Traditional exception handling is more like equipping each Klingon with a dead-man's switch attached to a nuke. Dying by accident in someone else's nuke blast would be a death without honor. So the point of the Perl 6 exception model is to try to keep as many warriors alive as long as possible in order to inflict the maximum possible damage on the enemy, which is our highest goal, after all. :) -- Larry Wall, on the issue of dealing gracefully with errors.
