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.
