The only "errors" that Try::Tiny cares about are die. (Though this also includes Carp::croak(), Carp::confess(), etc, because they call die internally.)

The only way I can reproduce $_ eq "" is to call die($e) where $e is a blessed object with overloading, that overloads eq or "" to compare equal to the empty string.

$ perl -MTry::Tiny -MData::Dumper -e'my $e = do { package E; use overl
+oad q[""] => sub {""}, fallback=>1; bless [] }; try { die $e } catch 
+{ print Dumper($_ eq "") }'

Update: oh yes; the other thing worth thinking about... are you using my $_ anywhere in this lexical scope? (Or given/when?) The lexical version of the $_ variable could be masking the global one (which is what Try::Tiny uses). Try starting your catch block with our $_; and see if that makes any difference.

package Cow { use Moo; has name => (is => 'lazy', default => sub { 'Mooington' }) } say Cow->new->name
