Firstly "Error" provides a procedural interface to exception handling. Secondly "Error" is a base class for errors/exceptions that can either be thrown, for subsequent catch, or can simply be recorded. . Errors in the class "Error" should not be thrown directly, but the user should throw errors from a sub-class of "Error". . Warning: Using the "Error" module is no longer recommended due to the black-magical nature of its syntactic sugar, which often tends to break. Its maintainers have stopped actively writing code that uses it, and discourage people from doing so. . Recommended alternatives are Exception::Class (libexception-class-perl), Error::Exception (not packaged), TryCatch (libtrycatch-perl), and Try::Tiny (libtry-tiny-perl).
