 Description: Perl module for error/exception handling in an OO-ish way
- This module provides two interfaces.  Firstly "Error" provides a
- procedural interface to exception handling.  Secondly "Error" is a
- base class for errors/exceptions that can either be thrown, for
- subsequent catch, or can simply be recorded.

- Errors in the class "Error" should not be thrown directly, but the

+ .
+ Warning: Using the "Error" module is no longer recommended due to the
+ black-magical nature of its syntactic sugar, which often tends to break. Its
+ maintainers have stopped actively writing code that uses it, and discourage
+ people from doing so.
+ .
+ Recommended alternatives are Exception::Class (libexception-class-perl),
+ Error::Exception (not packaged), TryCatch (libtrycatch-perl), and Try::Tiny
+ (libtry-tiny-perl).
