in thread What technical benfits perl offers over python + few more questions.
Hi Hippo
Here is one of the links that talks about exceptions not being part of Perl. My bad again, I got mixed up with errors and exceptions, and if you berate me for that I would totally understand- https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/mastering-perl/9780596527242/ch12.html
Given below is paragraph from the chapter -
Exceptions Perl doesn’t have exceptions. Let’s just get that clear right now. Lik +e some other things Perl doesn’t really have, people have figured out + how to fake them. If you’re used to languages, such as Java or Pytho +n, set the bar much lower so you aren’t too disappointed. In those ot +her languages, exceptions are part of the fundamental design, and tha +t’s how I’m supposed to deal with all errors. Exceptions aren’t part +of Perl’s design, and it’s not how Perl programmers tend to deal with + errors.
Unfortunately I could not find other links. I was just going from one article to another and that is how I stumbled across the said articles.
Note:- I am not hear to badmouth about Perl. Just really badly wanting to get some clarity (which the ensuing answers have provided in truckloads).
