5 As noted in the [[!cpan Try::Tiny]] man page, eval/$@ can be quite
6 awkward in corner cases, because $@ has the same properties and problems
7 as C's errno. While writing a regression test for definetemplate
8 in which it couldn't find an appropriate template, I received
10 <span class="error">Error: failed to process template
11 <span class="createlink">deftmpl</span> </span>
13 instead of the intended
15 <span class="error">Error: failed to process template
16 <span class="createlink">deftmpl</span> template deftmpl not
19 which turned out to be because the "catch"-analogous block called
20 gettext before it used $@, and gettext can call define_gettext,
23 Fixed in my branch smcv/ready/careful-eval. Another possibility
24 for fixing this would be to depend on something like Try::Tiny,
25 which is already indirectly recommended by ikiwiki, because
26 [[!cpan RPC::XML]], [[!cpan XML::Feed]], etc., depend on it.
