In the case of XML::Parser it has its own __DIE__ handler which makes things a little tricky. But this is perl, the language where "never" doesn't really mean "never", it just means "probably shouldn't" ...

BEGIN {
  ## Use CORE::die if you still want exceptions
  *CORE::GLOBAL::die = sub {
    warn "Problem? What problem? ... [@_]\n";
  };
}

use XML::Parser;

XML::Parser->new->parse("This isn't XML. Seriously");
print "All is well\n";

__output__

Problem? What problem? [
syntax error at line 1, column 0, byte 0 at /usr/lib/perl5/XML/Parser.
+pm line 187
]
All is well

• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
