Exception handling in perl is currenlty far from perfect. eval leaves a lot to be desired. Lots of darkpan code is rife with pottential code that could interfere with $@

TryCatch (on CPAN now) fixes this through the magic of Devel::Declare.

Breifly address what's wrong with eval, what I/we'd like, and then finally how it was done using Devel::Declare
