Re: Try::Tiny and -E

-E activates all features and try/catch is one of them.

The parser is most likely expecting the catch{} part after try{}

I think Try::Tiny should attempt to warn you or die.

You might want to open a ticket.

Thank you. In hindsight it might be that Try::Tiny is complied before the -E takes effect. Not sure about the compilation order here. ° In that case only something like an `INIT {}` block could catch the conflict.

> In hindsight it might be that Try::Tiny is complied before the -E takes effect. Indeed. In this special case it's actually too early to check from within Try::Tiny. I checked with `feature::feature_enabled("try");` and `feature::features_enabled($LEVEL);` for various levels. But the case of `perl -E'use Try::Tiny; try {1/0}'` could be checked, and from what I see is Try::Tiny not attempting to catch this. So haarg's reply to the ticket is not fully correct. On another note: I'm wondering, shouldn't Perl warn if a built-in is clashing with an (exported) sub???

It doesn't matter when the Try::Tiny is compiled. Features have a lexical scope, so it's all about the context in which the `try` keyword is compiled. And while that is possible to check that context to see if the feature is enabled, it's out of reach of Try::Tiny since I believe it's intentionally a pure-Perl module.	[reply] [d/l]
