You can do both with stock perl5, the quite ugly exception-style and using a return value from the throw: my $counter = 0; eval { foreach my $outer (1..5) { foreach my $inner ('A'..'E') { print "$outer: $inner\n"; die { message => "jump out!" } if ++$counter > 4 } } }; use Data::Dumper; print Dumper $@; Why you need Error.pm?

Thanks for pointing it out. You are incredibly rude, however. Please learn how to interact with other human beings in a polite manner. :) I was wrong, it does work in Perl.
