Re: Exception handling for Image::Magick

The conventional way of writing your first snippet is:

$err = $image->DoSomething
    or die "Can't do Something: ", $err;
[download]

Perhaps that is adequate and simpler than exception handling.

the problem here is that I::M methods return a non-empty string on failure. So that would be: `$err = $image->DoSomething and die $err;` [download] But sometimes methods are meant to return someting and then you have to test agains context to see if it's an error or not. -- Lyon	[reply] [d/l]
