It's equally incorrect, but exceptions make it harder to forget. Perl code
which forgets to check return values fails in odd ways or produces warnings
from -w in some place in the code other than where the bug is (or perhaps
works for some cases and not others), while an unhandled exception aborts
the program and pinpoints the location of the bug.
