Hi all, I've recently been looking at a bug with the new try/catch syntax in core: https://github.com/Perl/perl5/issues/18855 It has me thinking that this sort of bug ought really to have been caught well before 5.34.0, earlier in the 5.33.x development series. I think a reason it wasn't is because not many people are actually making use of this. Perhaps understandable given it was "only" a development release, but now it's out in the wild in a real production version perhaps there will be more eyeballs on it. What we need here is more folks to actually use this new feature in real code to check whether it actually works for real. So how can you help? 1) If you're already using `Syntax::Keyword::Try`, simply change that to use Feature::Compat::Try; This will pull in S-K-T on older perls, or simply enable the core 'try' feature on 5.34 onwards. 2) If you're using some other try-providing syntax module and you don't need to support older than 5.34, you can use feature 'try'; and adjust your uses of the syntax accordingly (exactly what changes to make will depend on what other module you're already using). If you do need pre-5.34 compatibility as well, then I suggest using Feature::Compat::Try, as per above. 3) If you don't have any form of module for providing a `try`-like syntax and are instead using plain ol' `eva{}`, well then now may be a perfect opportunity to give this a test. Either of the above techniques would do that - depending whether you need to support older than 5.34 or not. -- Paul "LeoNerd" Evans leonerd@leonerd.org.uk | https://metacpan.org/author/PEVANS http://www.leonerd.org.uk/ | https://www.tindie.com/stores/leonerd/Thread Next
