in reply to Error handling - how much/where/how?

in addition to what salva and Ultra stated:
- you might want to take a look at Carp.pm
- there's a CORE function named caller.
- you can install hooks for every signal, even $SIG{__DIE__}.

e.g.: 
local $SIG{__DIE__} = 
          sub { my $i = -1;
                while (my @c= caller(++$i)) {
                   print " at $c[1] line $[2]\n";
                }
              };

Re^2: Error handling - how much/where/how? (a plug for Devel::SimpleTrace)

    I used to hand-roll similar stuff, badly. These days I have learnt to become Lazy, and I now use Devel::SimpleTrace. That's usually good enough for me to figure out the course of events when Things Go Wrong.

      another way is to use Carp::croak to report errors and then use... 
      perl -MCarp=verbose foo.pl

      to get stack traces.
