# Handling errors the smart way

- ## Life after death:

  $h->{RaiseError} = 1;
  eval {
  foo();
  $h->method; # fails so the DBI calls die
  bar($h); # may also call DBI methods
  };
  if ($@) {
  ... handle the error here ...
  }

- ## Bonus prize:

  - Other, non-DBI, code within the eval block may also raise an exception that will be caught and can be handled cleanly
