Description : Perl module providing minimal try/catch
Try::Tiny provides bare bones try/catch 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. These extra features come at a cost of a
few dependencies, namely Devel::Declare and Scope::Upper which are
occasionally problematic, and the additional catch filtering uses Moose type
constraints which may not be desirable either.
.
The main focus of this module is to provide simple and reliable error
handling for those having a hard time installing TryCatch, but who still want
to write correct eval blocks without 5 lines of boilerplate each time.
Try::Tiny is required by the new release of Moose (libmoose-perl).
Regards,
Ansgar
