Re: Exception handling for Image::Magick

[Zaxo]

The conventional way of writing your first snippet is:

$err = $image->DoSomething
    or die "Can't do Something: ", $err;

Perhaps that is adequate and simpler than exception handling.

[redlemon]

the problem here is that I::M methods return a non-empty string on failure. So that would be:

   $err = $image->DoSomething  and die $err;

But sometimes methods are *meant* to return someting and then you have to test agains context to see if it's an error or not.
