Not quite an equivalent in perl because there are limitations like exceptions being discarded if you're unwinding because of an exception being thrown, but it's entirely possible to make things go if you know what you're doing ;)

"Matt S. Trout (mst)" is good - I'm probably better known by my IRC nick than my full name in geek circles ;)

I'll keep that in mind, and I'll add that link to the book's contents, and I'll add you to my book's Hall of Fame. Thanks.

The author of Future::AsyncAwait is working on a patch to core to provide LEAVE {} blocks which will be a more full unwind-protect solution. Note of course the destructor limitation doesn't affect Worlogog use so much since you're -not- throwing exceptions, but once you're into mixed condition and exception based code of course things that to get more "fun".

I imagine that is the reality of everyone who tries to implement a condition system in a language where the default behavior is to immediately unwind the stack by throwing some sort of an exception.

Yes. But as the only perler I've seen in this thread I wanted to do my best to be honest about the risks.

If I were to want to continue discussing this, do you happen to kick around anywhere on IRC that would be suitable?

#lisp on Freenode sounds okay - my nickname is phoe.
