If a plain perl exception is raised, and caught in python then the exception type object will be perl.PerlError and the value will be the stringified form of $@.

Perl call frames are currently invisible in tracebacks.

Example:

  >>> perl.eval("3/0")
  Traceback (innermost last):
    File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
  perl.PerlError: Illegal division by zero
                  at (eval 1) line 2.
