The examples in the "error handling" chapter (19) of RWH don't run under GHC 6.10.

For instance, an example might be

main = handle (\_ -> putStrLn "error") (print $ 5 `div` 0)

I usually use: main = handle (\(_ :: SomeException) -> putStrLn "error") (print $ 5 `div` 0) ...but you need the "ScopedTypeVariables" language extension. G -- Gregory Collins <greg@gregorycollins.net>
