:) happens in v5.16.1 also, but if you search Try::Tiny for $_ this caveat is described but real solution is not

I found this thread I participated in Lexical $_ in given/when vs. BLOCK arguments which had the real solution, because I ran into similar nonsense before :) 

#!/usr/bin/perl --
use feature qw (switch);
use Try::Tiny;

my $uv;
given (17) {
    when (3) { print "three\n"; };
    when (17) {
#~         local $_; # grr Can't localize lexical variable $_
#~         my $_; ## doesn't help, Try::Tiny code is using global $_
#~         local *_; ## doesn't help , here $_ refers to lexical $_
        our $_; # THIS HELPS
        try {
            print "In try block\n";
            die( "Substitute undefined variable $uv\n");
            print "Still in try block\n";
        } catch {
            print "We caught global    \$@ = $@\n";
            print "We caught lexical   \$_ = $_\n";
            print "We caught global  \$::_ = $::_\n";
            print "We caught global \$_[0] = $_[0]\n";
        };
    }
}
__END__
In try block
We caught global    $@ =
We caught lexical   $_ = Substitute undefined variable

We caught global  $::_ = Substitute undefined variable

We caught global $_[0] = Substitute undefined variable

So summary, local $_ should NOT die but work just like our $_ inside given/when

Try::Tiny documentation should lead with $::_

I still don't think in terms of given/when -- well I do, but I spell it if/else/unless :D
