I put a huge effort into writing New built-in perl5.38 try/catch syntax a year ago and was flabbergasted when it received zero responses. None. Very rare in my experience at PM. So thankyou parv and hippo for finally responding to my lonely little node, you just made my day. :-)

Further to hippo's excellent clarifying response, please note that I've further updated the Recent Features section of the newer Re: 5.40 released (perl new feature References) -- which BTW has always predicted that the finally block warning will finally disappear in perl v5.42. I hope to see that prediction fulfilled when perl v5.42 is finally released. :-)

👁️🍾👍🦟
