[TriLUG] Perl Appology

[William Sutton]

I don't believe anyone was offended.  I certainly wasn't.  I merely 
observed that I wasn't going to break something that was moderately 
functional.

I don't believe in using die() unless the situation is dire.  Even then, 
depending on the application, it's often better to log the error and move 
on.

There are, however, some constructs in which die() is a commonly used way 
to try/catch errors (See Exception::Class, for example).

Anyhow, your point was well made, I just ignored the convention for the 
present problem :-)
