Subject: XML::RPC should not die on error.
I think XML::RPC should not just die when there's an error. Returning undef or some other indicator for an error instead would improve the usability very much. And, if it really has to die, croak would be a better alternative, so you it's easier to find the place it crashed. Beside that, XML::RPC is a really nice module. Thanks for the good work.
This might change in a future update. But it would break backwards compatibility, because the API would have to change for some function, as well as the callbacks. So, this change will most likely be added when API changes are required anyway.
