This is a module that gives C++/Java type exception handling; look at
the pod part of Exception.pm to get more information. It contains some
C glue that gives a simple interface to the module from XSUB's. The
module is to be considered of a somewhat experimental nature as a
builtin exception mechanism is currently being discused. Depending on
the outcome of that discussion this module will either be obsoleted
(if the chosen is mechanism is close enough) or moved to a more
permanent place in the library hierarchy.

If something goes horribly wrong run the tests in t-directory. Apart from
using 
make test
or 
make test TEST_VERBOSE=1

One can use
perl t/Exception.t 1
to get maximal verbosity.
