    Summary: Exception::Class::TryCatch - Syntactic try/catch sugar for use with Exception::Class
    Description: 
    Exception::Class::TryCatch provides syntactic sugar for use with
    Exception::Class using the familiar keywords try and catch. Its primary
    objective is to allow users to avoid dealing directly with $@ by ensuring that
    any exceptions caught in an eval are captured as Exception::Class objects,
    whether they were thrown objects to begin with or whether the error resulted
    from die. This means that users may immediately use isa and various
    Exception::Class methods to process the exception.
    
    In addition, this module provides for a method to push errors onto a hidden
    error stack immediately after an eval so that cleanup code or other error
    handling may also call eval without the original error in $@ being lost.
    
    Inspiration for this module is due in part to Dave Rolsky's article "Exception
    Handling in Perl With Exception::Class" in The Perl Journal (Rolsky 2004).
    
    The try/catch syntax used in this module does not use code reference prototypes
    the way the Error.pm module does, but simply provides some helpful
    functionality when used in combination with eval. As a result, it avoids the
    complexity and dangers involving nested closures and memory leaks inherent in
    Error.pm (Perrin 2003).
    
    Rolsky (2004) notes that these memory leaks may not occur in recent versions of
    Perl, but the approach used in Exception::Class::TryCatch should be safe for
    all versions of Perl as it leaves all code execution to the eval in the current
    scope, avoiding closures altogether.
