=head1 NAME

Try::Lite - easy exception catcher with auto rethrow

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  use Try::Lite;
  try {
      YourExceptionClass->throw;
  }
      'YourExceptionClass' => sub {
          say ref($@); # show 'YourExceptionClass'
      };

You can catch base exception class:

  package YourExceptionClass {
      use parent 'BaseExceptionClass';
  }
  
  try {
      YourExceptionClass->throw;
  }
      'BaseExceptionClass' => sub {
          say ref($@); # show 'YourExceptionClass'
      };

You can catch any exception:

  try {
      die "oops\n";
  }
      '*' => sub {
          say $@; # show "oops\n";
      };

If there is no matched catch clause, Try::Lite rethrow the exception automatically:

  eval {
      try {
          die "oops\n";
      }
          'YourExceptionClass' => sub {};
  };
  say $@; # show "oops\n"

You can receives the  try block return value and catechs subs return value:

  my $ret = try {
      'foo'
  } '*' => sub {};
  say $ret; # show 'foo'
  
  my $ret = try {
      die 'foo'
  } '*' => sub { 'bar' };
  say $ret; # show 'bar'

You can catch any exceptions:

  sub run (&) {
    my $code = shift;
  
    try { $code->() }
      'FileException'    => sub { say 'file exception' },
      'NetworkException' => sub { say 'network exception' };
  }
  
  run { FileException->throw };    # show 'file exception'
  run { NetworkException->throw }; # show 'network exception'
  run { die 'oops' };              # Died

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Exception other than the all specified conditions are It run rethrow.
