Re^3: Try::Tiny and -E

Ways to address this:

You can convert to using the builtin feature.

$ perl -E'try { 1/0 } catch ( $e ) { }; say "ok"'   # Using 5.40
ok
[download]

You can follow add no feature qw( try );

$ perl -MTry::Tiny -E'no feature qw( try ); try { 1/0 }; say "ok"'
ok
[download]

You can use an older version of the "language" (even if you're using the 5.40 interpreter).
```
$ perl -Mv5.38 -MTry::Tiny -e'try { 1/0 }; say "ok"'
ok
[download]
```
(5.10 would suffice for this program.)

As you might have noticed, -E isn't forward compatible. Your program would have worked with 5.38, but it doesn't with 5.40. If it's not a throwaway program, it's safer to use

-e'use v5.xx; ...'
[download]

-Mv5.xx -e'...'
[download]

instead of

-E'...'   # XXX Not forward-compatible.

You could also do this: `perl -MTry::Tiny -E 'Try::Tiny::try { 1 / 0 } Try::Tiny::catch { print $_ };'` which (as expected) generates: `Illegal division by zero at -E line 1.` Hope that helps.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Thank you. The way forward always starts with a minimal test.	[reply]
