I think the overall best solution is to mention Try::Tiny in the perldocs.

hmmm, the Perl docs probably should be in the business of recommending specific non-core modules.

Especially since Perl is getting a try keyword...

Quite the opposite. It's not any less backward compatible than creating a new module that exports `try`, seeing as you have to "import" it before you can use it.	[reply] [d/l]

I disagree since Try::Tiny is available for older versions, so importing will work "backwards" Cheers Rolf _{(addicted to the Perl Programming Language :) Wikisyntax for the Monastery}	[reply]
