I quite like using: methods always return a true value on success, and
if they fail, you make a log, and return false yourself. Requires a very
lightweight instantiator that always passes tho, and you do have to
occasionally do nasty things like return empty arrayrefs.

It is simple, however.

It's entirely possible, though, I guess, that the project you're
maintaining is the last large-scale piece of work I wrote that did
things that way ;-)
