John> Who told you Perl can't do exceptions?
Back when I learned (heh, I never 'really' learned, but knew enough to
write programs in it) perl, almost every function call was followed by
or die("blah");
i.e. the user had to check the error code. If the function would have
raised an exception instead, such check would be redundant because it
would never be executed.
In Python, all error conditions raise exceptions. If python
'supported' exceptions but standard library functions didn't raise
them, the feature would not be worth much.
