Re^2: Try::Tiny - return in catch from sub

um, it says what try returns, what catch returns ... see this example

  try {
    die_sometimes();
  } catch {
    # ...code run in case of error
  } finally {
    if (@_) {
      print "The try block died with: @_\n";
    } else {
      print "The try block ran without error.\n";
    }
  };

if you want to return from your sub from within a try/catch then use as directed

 use TryCatch;

 sub foo {
   my ($self) = @_;

   try {
     die Some::Class->new(code => 404 ) if $self->not_found;
     return "return value from foo";
   }
   catch (Some::Class $e where { $_->code > 100 } ) {
   }
 }

Try::Tiny is for when TryCatch is too much, it is not a drop in replacement, mind the caveats

um, not in the CPAN documentation: This module provides bare bones try/catch/finally statements that are designed to minimize common mistakes with eval blocks, and NOTHING else. This is unlike TryCatch which provides a nice syntax and avoids adding another call stack layer, and supports calling return from the try block to return from the parent subroutine.	[reply]

That says Try::Tiny does not support returning from try/catch/finally blocks like TryCatch, its how they're different	[reply]
