     1.4 +This module provides bare bones try, catch, finally statements that are designed
     1.5 +to minimize common mistakes with eval blocks, and NOTHING else.
     1.6 +
     1.7 +This is unlike TryCatch which provides a nice syntax and avoids adding another
     1.8 +call stack layer, and supports calling return from the try block to return from
     1.9 +the parent subroutine. 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).
