Re^2: Catalyst / DBIx::Class - accessing a different table from the model

The only nitpick I have is with "eval and recover". Try::Tiny cleans this up quite nicely, or use Throwable to create actual exceptions and keep things less crappy.

Three thousand years of beautiful tradition, from Moses to Sandy Koufax, you're god damn right I'm living in the fucking past

Well, that was back-of-the-napkining. :P I use Try::Tiny sometimes and I rely on /end handling myself; also newer Perls (5.16+ IIRC) do `eval+$@` better so it’s not as important a caveat now and frankly I was never bitten by it in the past. I agree that exception objects can be a good idea, I posted a sample on that not long ago, but it’s not something that lends itself to inclusion in snippets. (Update: 5.14 is where better `eval` and `$@` came in. Not 5.16 as previously suggested.)	[reply] [d/l] [select]
