A new signal, +DIE, is introduced. This signal will be fired every time an exception +occurs. (For those of you new to the term exception, an exception is +whenever the code decides to bail out by die'ing.) If the signal handler +returns 1 (as in the example above), POE will assume that the handler +dealt with the signal appropriately. If the signal handler returns 0, +POE will assume that the handler does not want to deal with the signal +and POE will propgate the exception as if the handler never existed. + +Caveat: POE::Exceptions will die on its own in the case of a double +exception fault. If the DIE signal handler itself throws an exception, +POE::Exceptions will shut the program down and bail out. + +WWW: http://search.cpan.org/dist/POE-Exceptions/ + +-- Sergey Skvortsov +skv@FreeBSD.org |
