NAME

Acme::ExceptionEater - Prevents eval from returning an exception.

VERSION

This document describes Acme::ExceptionEater version 0.0.1

SYNOPSIS

    use Acme::ExceptionEater;
    eval {
        my $ee = Acme::ExceptionEater->new();
        die 'My final wish is for you to know this...';
    };
    # $@ is still ''

DESCRIPTION

Placing an Acme::ExceptionEater object in a lexical in the outer-most scope of an eval will prevent exceptions from escaping the eval where they may confuse, annoy, frighten, or inform others.

Simply instanciate an Acme::ExceptionEater object at the start of the eval. When the eater goes out of scope and Perl does garbage collection, it will eat any exceptions that might be waiting to pass on their final words to the code after the eval.
