It looks like the builtin try is getting depreciated

The word is deprecated. But what gives you that idea? It just stopped being experimental in the latest version (5.40), so why do you think it's going to be deprecated in the next one?

    I was sure I had a reference that said it was being deprecated (IIRC in 5.40), but now I can't find anything that looks similar so I have no idea if I just made it up. Sorry.

      It's the very opposite. 5.40 is when it became "a stable language feature". From perl5400delta,

      try/catch feature is no longer experimental

      Prior to this release, the try/catch feature for handling errors was considered experimental. Introduced in Perl version 5.34.0, this is now considered a stable language feature and its use no longer prints a warning. It still must be enabled with the 'try' feature.

      See "Try Catch Exception Handling" in perlsyn.
