Shouldn't something like this catch them all?

Doesn't look like it, sorry :-( A look at the Path::Tiny source shows it seems to do no error checking on the reads at all.

#!/usr/bin/env perl
use warnings;
use strict;
use Data::Dump;
use Path::Tiny;
use Try::Tiny;
use autodie qw(:all);

package ReadFail {
    use parent 'Tie::Handle::Base';
    sub READLINE { $! = 1; return }
    sub READ { $! = 1; return undef }
}

my $orig = \&Path::Tiny::filehandle;
my $wrap = sub { ReadFail->new( $orig->(@_) ) };
{ no warnings 'redefine'; *Path::Tiny::filehandle = $wrap }

try { dd "slurp_utf8", path('mydata.txt')->slurp_utf8 }
catch { dd "error", $_ };

__END__

("slurp_utf8", undef)
