Helios::Error::Fatal - fatal exception class for Helios job processing system; implies a job failed but can be re-attempted

	# in dodgy code:

	use Error qw(:try);

	sub dodgy {

		if ($something_bad) {
			throw Helios::Error::Fatal("This job failed");
		}
	}




	# in the caller of the dodgy code:

	use Error qw(:try);

	try {
		dodgy(@params);
	} catch Helios::Error::Fatal with {
		my $e = shift;
		$self->logMsg( $e->text() );
		$self->failedJob( $job, $e->text() );
	};

Helios::Error::Fatal can be used to identify errors that were severe enough to cause a job to fail. This implies an error that should be logged and the Schwartz job in question should be marked as failed (with the $job->failed() method). If your Worker class supports retrying failed jobs (overriding the max_retries() method), the system will retry the job up to the number times returned by max_retries().

Compare this to Helios::Error::FatalNoRetry, which implies a similar circumstance except the error is severe enough to prevent the system from re-attempting the job later.
