B.7 Exception Handling

26. die throws an exception, and eval traps it. Error string is found in $@ . The following code has the possibility of two run-time errors:

    eval {                             $c = $a / $b;                                       #1    die "Denominator cannot be negative" if ($b < 0);   #2 }; print "Run-time error: $@";

    $@ can be "Illegal division by zero" at (1) or "Denominator cannot be negative" at (2).
