Not if sql-serialize is meant to be a general-purpose library. The main
program very possibly has an exception catcher which formats or logs the
error and then lets the user continue.

If sql-serialize is just your own self-contained application, of course, you
can choose to have it work in the way you describe.

You just catch the exception and re-raise it, exactly as you showed (except
'rescue Exception => e' not a DBI::Exception).
