+There are some special considerations you need to take when writing event-driven code.

+### Problem: No exception handler up the call stack

+class: ex-exceptions
+
+## Rule: Don't die/throw in event handlers.

+### Error callback pattern

+    on_error => sub { ... },

+
+### Use promises

+```perl

+
+$promise->on_done(sub { ... });
+$promise->on_fail(sub { ... });

+- Sent to your program when it writes to a pipe that was closed.

+- Default signal handler terminates the program.

+class: ex-sigpipe
+
+## Solution: Ignore `SIGPIPE`
+
+```perl
+$SIG{PIPE} = 'IGNORE';
+```

+Some event loops do this for you.

+Look for `EPIPE` from syscalls (like [`write`](http://man.he.net/man2/write)) instead.
+
+(You *are* checking return codes from your system calls... right?)
