Benjamin Goldberg: # Concievably, we could then examine the exception, and maybe decide that # it was nonfatal, and resume execution from just after the place it was # thrown from.
The problem with that is that some exceptions are unresumable. For example, exceptions thrown in C code are difficult to resume from, especially if they represent e.g. a segfault. Exceptions that represent things like a file failing to open can be difficult to handle if they're thrown from an inner routine--you'd need to know where to put the replacement filehandle. Perhaps there can be an Exception::Resumable that inherits from both Exception and Continuation, but I don't think that normal exceptions can or should be resumable. --Brent Dax <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Perl and Parrot hacker
