Hi monks,

Any thoughts regarding this error:

Type of arg 1 to Try::Tiny::catch must be block or sub {} (not referen
+ce constructor)

[download]

I'm not sure what to make of it. I don't get the error on my macOS system (v5.18.2) but I first saw it tonight when I switched to running same code on Windows (v5.28.1 Strawberry Distro) and w/ ActiveState distro as well.

I'm getting the error consistently through my code, including in modules and script -- wherever try {} catch {}; is used, even if I gut the subroutine of all code except for an empty try / catch block. But oddly, no issue when I try the same in a standalone do nothing script.

Any advice appreciated!

Thanks,

-Roland.
