Hi there I borrowed the title from Curtis' recently shared gist. I am sure every one of us have dealt with exceptions in Perl. Being a CPAN fan, I found plenty of choices readily available. I am a big fan of Try::Tiny and it has always been my first choice to deal with exceptions in Perl. I suggest you must check out the gist for more insights and suggestions shared by Curtis. I would also like to share another gem by Curtis, Porting from Moose or Moo. It is a big help for anyone to move to Corinna from Moose or Moo. Most of my personal work shared on MetaCPAN used Moo. The document by Curtis would be handy when porting to Corinna once it is part of core Perl. I am eagerly waiting for it to happen. Finally, this is my 99th edition of the weekly newsletter. In two weeks time, I would be presenting the 100th edition. I joined the team of editors in May 2018, thanks to the chief editor, Gabor Szabo, for all the support and guidance. Enjoy the rest of the newsletter and pray for the world peace. Mohammad Sajid Anwar |
