Learn Perl try catch tutorial and examples

This tutorial explains about how to handle errors and exceptions in Perl Language.

Prior to Perl version 5.34, To hand handle exceptions, Third party libraries such as Try::Tiny used . Here is an example before

use Try::Tiny;

try {
        die "foo";
} catch {
        warn "error thrown: $_";
};

Perl version 5.34 introduced try,catch, finally syntax features

These are experimental feature, enabled by using below command.

use feature 'try'

Syntax:

try {
    // code
}
catch ($e) {
    warn "catch block; $e";
}
finally {
    print "finally block\n";
}

finally block is an optional.

if finally included, It executes the code inside it after code executed in try and catch blocks.
