# This shows that Error objects can be subclassed into more specialized types.
# Bio::Root::FileOpenException is a subclass of  Bio::Root::IOException. 
#
# We can write a generic handler to trap any type of IOException
# or we could handle FileOpenExceptions explicitly.
#
# To demo, run this script without any arguments, then try it with an argument
# that doesn't correspond to any file on your system (e.g., foobar). 
# Then try running with a valid file name.
#
# This requires Graham Barr's Error.pm module available from CPAN.
