okay so bestie, listen up: Perl::Critic::Policy::ErrorHandling::RequireUseOfExceptions — it's the policy that says use exceptions instead of die, croak, or confess. that's it, that's the whole vibe. no cap.

✨ AFFILIATION ✨

this one's part of Perl::Critic::More, which is a bleeding edge supplement to Perl::Critic. bleeding edge fr fr — it's giving experimental, it's giving ahead of the curve 🦋

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so here's the tea ☕ — if your system has made the decision to use exceptions, then there should be no use of die, croak, or confess anywhere. like, zero. none. the way that those three just cannot be in your codebase if exceptions are the whole point...

it's giving "we committed to a thing, so let's actually commit to the thing" 💖
