How to catch exceptions, second try...

I posted this on the 14th, but saw no responses.  I'm reposting on the hunch
that everyone was distracted...

I have a Mason component which uses Frontier::Client to make an XML-RPC call
to a remote method which can raise an exception (a fault in XML-RPC
parlance).  When the fault information is detected by Frontier::Client, it
obligingly calls die() with information about the error.

In my code I tried to catch the exception like so:

    eval {
        $result = $m->comp("/.../.../component", "remote method", a1, ...);
    };
    if ($@) {
        blah blah blah;
    }

Problem is, my code is never executed.  The Mason error handler always gets
called.  What am I missing?
