Yes, mooix's error handling throws Mooix::Error objects around, these
generate appropriate stack traces in appropriate contexts, etc. This is
the only system (and it's a very large and complex system) in which I
have ever felt the need to use exceptions in perl.

Anything that depends on liberror-perl will likely throw object based
exceptions too.
