You seem to be missing something that I've seen in every other implementation of this: something to make the result false when a method is no longer being called on it, via overload.
So that:
my $obj = Foo::->new->set_bar("iron")->inc_baz(1000)
or die "something in there went horribly wrong: ", $obj->errmsg;
$obj or die "something in there went horribly wrong: ", $obj->errmsg;
(Updated to fix nit picked by ihb)
can trigger the error clause. But I'm not a big fan of this
method of working anyway; when I've had to chain lots of methods (usually only when using B), I just wrap the whole chain in an eval block.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
