These extra features come at a cost of a few dependencies, 1.10 +namely Devel::Declare and Scope::Upper which are occasionally problematic, and 1.11 +the additional catch filtering uses Moose type constraints which may not be 1.12 +desirable either. 1.13 + 1.14 +The main focus of this module is to provide simple and reliable error handling 1.15 +for those having a hard time installing TryCatch, but who still want to write 1.16 +correct eval blocks without 5 lines of boilerplate each time. 1.17 + 1.18 +It's designed to work as correctly as possible in light of the various 1.19 +pathological edge cases and to be compatible with any style of error values 1.20 +(simple strings, references, objects, overloaded objects, etc).
