That's not the main eval gotcha that Try::Tiny seeks to solve. Amongst the things mentioned in Try::Tiny's documentation are:
- It is possible to throw an exception which is considered false in a boolean context, thus breaking if ($@). Try::Tiny isn't fooled by that.
- If a DESTROY method calls eval then an object used within your eval could potentially clobber $@. Try::Tiny creates a copy of $@ that is safe, and passes it as a parameter to the catch block.
These errors are fairly rare in practice, but extremely difficult to figure out when they do happen. People who have been burned by them in the past tend to appreciate Try::Tiny quite a lot.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
