-=head1 NAME
-
-Try::Tiny - minimal try/catch with proper preservation of $@
-
=head1 SYNOPSIS
You can use Try::Tiny's C<try> and C<catch> to expect and handle exceptional
assign C<"bar"> to C<$x>:
my $x = try { die "foo" } catch { "bar" };
- my $x = try { die "foo" } || { "bar" };
- my $x = (try { die "foo" }) // { "bar" };
+ my $x = try { die "foo" } || "bar";
+ my $x = (try { die "foo" }) // "bar";
my $x = eval { die "foo" } || "bar";
which cannot be handled using local. You can add as many C<finally> blocks to a
given C<try> block as you like.
+Note that adding a C<finally> block without a preceding C<catch> block
+suppresses any errors. This behaviour is consistent with using a standalone
+C<eval>, but it is not consistent with C<try>/C<finally> patterns found in
+other programming languages, such as Java, Python, Javascript or C#. If you
+learnt the C<try>/C<finally> pattern from one of these languages, watch out for
+this.
+
=head1 EXPORTS
All functions are exported by default using L<Exporter>.
not do anything about handling possible errors coming from code located in these
blocks.
+Furthermore B<exceptions in C<finally> blocks are not trappable and are unable
+to influence the execution of your program>. This is due to limitation of
+C<DESTROY>-based scope guards, which C<finally> is implemented on top of. This
+may change in a future version of Try::Tiny.
+
In the same way C<catch()> blesses the code reference this subroutine does the same
except it bless them as C<Try::Tiny::Finally>.
Using Perl 5.10 you can use L<perlsyn/"Switch statements">.
+=for stopwords topicalizer
+
The C<catch> block is invoked in a topicalizer context (like a C<given> block),
but note that you can't return a useful value from C<catch> using the C<when>
blocks without an explicit C<return>.
=item *
C<@_> is not available within the C<try> block, so you need to copy your
-arglist. In case you want to work with argument values directly via C<@_>
+argument list. In case you want to work with argument values directly via C<@_>
aliasing (i.e. allow C<$_[1] = "foo">), you need to pass C<@_> by reference:
sub foo {
my $success = try {
die;
1;
+ };
+ return unless $success;
+
+ say "This text WILL NEVER appear!";
+ }
+ # OR
+ sub parent_sub_with_catch {
+ my $success = try {
+ die;
+ 1;
}
+ catch {
+ # do something with $_
+ return undef; #see note
+ };
return unless $success;
say "This text WILL NEVER appear!";
will not report this when using full stack traces, though, because
C<%Carp::Internal> is used. This lack of magic is considered a feature.
+=for stopwords unhygienically
+
=item *
The value of C<$_> in the C<catch> block is not guaranteed to be the value of
the exception thrown (C<$@>) in the C<try> block. There is no safe way to
-ensure this, since C<eval> may be used unhygenically in destructors. The only
+ensure this, since C<eval> may be used unhygienically in destructors. The only
guarantee is that the C<catch> will be called if an exception is thrown.
=item *
Note that this behavior was changed once again in L<Perl5 version 18
|https://metacpan.org/module/perldelta#given-now-aliases-the-global-_>.
-However, since the entirety of lexical C<$_> is now L<considired experimental
+However, since the entirety of lexical C<$_> is now L<considered experimental
|https://metacpan.org/module/perldelta#Lexical-_-is-now-experimental>, it
is unclear whether the new version 18 behavior is final.
