I'm having an interesting dilemma with Error.pm and END blocks that I was hoping I could get some insight into. I appreciate any help anyone can give.

The problem is as follows:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;
use Error qw( :try );

my $var = "Hello";


END {
  print $var, "\n";

  try {
    print $var, "\n";
  } catch Error with {
    print "Whoa, got an error!\n";
  };
}

Gives me:
Hello
Hello

while this:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;
use Error qw( :try );

my $var = "Hello";


END {
  try {
    print $var, "\n";
  } catch Error with {
    print "Whoa, got an error!\n";
  };
}

gives me
Use of uninitialized value in print at testend2.pl line 11.

I could see the second one not working, but why does printing (or just using or even just saying $var;) make it work inside the try block??

Is this a problem with Error.pm or a standard issue occurrence?
