Re: Which incarnation of try/catch to use?

IMHO, Try::Tiny is the "best" (simplest, most portable) module. Like Haarg, I am wondering what you mean by "eval { } can't do that" - one of the simplest ways to do try/catch built in to Perl is eval { ...; 1 } or do { ... }; (but not eval { ... }; if ($@) { ... }!)

Aha! There was one of the problems, I had been using `eval { ... }; if ($@) { ... }` instead of `eval { ...; 1 } or do { ... };` and the latter worked as intended, trapping the error raised in a deeper module by bad data. I've tracked down the cause of my script making the bad data now but have to redesign a bit of the work flow. After that, I folded the core "try" feature now, with good results. Although the script now warns that "try" is experimental.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Although the script now warns that "try" is experimental. See the sample code in New built-in perl5.38 try/catch syntax that silences the warning via: `# use feature 'try'; # throws 'try/catch is experimental' warnings use experimental 'try';` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
