Graham Barr is nominated as the Exception pumpking. I forward your message to him. I also forward to [EMAIL PROTECTED] SEX is not only a cutesy name we at [EMAIL PROTECTED] mostly frown upon, it is also already taken, at least on a case insensitive basis, by MSCHWERN. I recently made the proposal to name all the candidates in the racing for the best Exception library Exception::Something (pick your favorite instead of "Something", that is;). So anyway, if you're inclined to rename or not, feel free to upload it to CPAN as it makes future discussions about alternatives easier if the candidates are not spread over multiple places.
