Exception-Class (1.32)
Sorry if this feels more like a shameless plug than a review ... if you do not like to have to repeat the names of the exception classes to set up the hierarchy you might like Exception::Class::Nested. It's just a simple wrapper of this module that lets you describe the hierarchy by nesting the class definitions. This may prevent rather hard to debug typos :-)

Exception-Class
(1.29)
Exception::Class is a great CPAN distribution. I've been using Error.pm for a while (and now co-maintain it), and was looking for something less magical (or even "black-magicke") and less of a leaky abstraction, and Exception-Class turns out to be a great solution.
The syntax for defining many exception classes is great, and it is also provides a convenient syntax for trapping and analyzing the excepions, which does not use closure games like Error.pm does.
In short: don't use Error.pm - and use Exception-Class. I should note that there's search.cpan.org/dist/Try-Tiny/ (and some other Method-Signature-like hacks) which may be worth to take a look as an alternative to the "use Error qw(:try);" syntax, but Exception-Class is naturally a complement.

Great module for flexible, user defined exceptions. I haven't used it for catching exceptions (TryCatch) but I am a big fan of using this for my exceptions.
I think that the documentation could use a little love, but that may just be because I'm not used to using this kind of thing. Maybe I'll send Rolsky some patches :-)

It's a nice system for handling exceptions in larger systems-- it's what I'm using now.
I have some sense there's a way to make it simpler, but it certainly works well enough.

It's Perlish! It's sophisticated exceptions! It's not a contradiction!
Like so much Rolskyware, Exception::Class provides a well-engineered and very customizable system for doing something that most large software needs: error trapping. It has an optimal interface (especially with the addition of Foo->caught), a simple and Perlish way to define exception hierarchies, and reasonable default behavior. Use it.

Excellent functionality for when you want to pass around specific information in a die(). The $@ is still stringified in a useful way.
Easy-to-use API for defining your own exceptions.

Allows you to declare multiple exception classes concisely. API documented well. Easy to override default behaviour when you need to.
