G'day stevieb,

You may already know what follows. This information is for those who don't.

The try/catch feature is experimental.

Any usage should be preceded by these lines (in the order shown):

no warnings 'experimental::try';
use feature 'try';
[download]

Avoid all experimental features, including this one, in any production-grade code.

See "perlsyn: Try Catch Exception Handling" for more details.

Simpler:

use experimental qw( try );

I may not have been aware of the experimental pragma — not overly surprising as I avoid experimental features — so thanks for the information.

The experimental documentation (for v5.34) lists supported features: try is not among them. However, it does appear to work: no "Can't enable unknown feature try ..." error, and try/catch functions as expected. It looks like the documentation needs an update.
