1. Do you use exception objects? If so, which one and why? If not, why not?
No. I prefer to die() or confess() when I hit errors that I can't handle. Why drag things out?
2. If you don't use exception objects, what would entice you to use them?
I don't like the idea of exceptions. Instead of handling a problem where you find it, you get an ugly COME FROM mechanism. I find a gazillion try/catch blocks (aka eval/die) to be distracting.
4. Is objectifying exceptions in the DIE handler a bad idea?
Dunno. It isn't something I've ever really considered before.

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).
