And just to clarify, my extension of PEAR_Exception, Net_Vpopmaild_Exception, could optionally take a PEAR_Error object as an argument to the constructor (i.e. returned from Net_Socket), so that I may pass that error message when throwing an Exception? Would this be meet the PHP5 rules? That wasn't mentioned in the error handling guidelines that I could see. And of course, this would only be necessary during the pre-stable phase. Cheers, Bill
