Trycatch is an extension of the Perl 5 object system.

This module aims to provide a nicer syntax and method to catch errors
in Perl, similar to what is found in other languages (such as Java,
Python or C++). The standard method of using eval {}; if ($@) {} is
often prone to subtle bugs, primarily that its far too easy to stomp
on the error in error handlers. And also eval/if isn't the nicest
idiom.
