Subject: try tiny / DateTime
Date: Fri, 8 Jul 2016 16:57:16 +0100
To: <bug-DateTime [...] rt.cpan.org>
From: mischa.schwieger <mischa.schwieger [...] adestra.com>
Hello, When using DateTime, but forgetting to use Try::Tiny unexpected behavior occurs when using a try{}catch{}; block. I am expecting a 'Can't call method "catch" without a package or object reference at line ...' error ( because 'use Try::Tiny;' is missing ), but getting a 'Not a subroutine reference at /usr/share/perl5/Try/Tiny.pm line 135.' instead. This is quite confusing. I have attached a test script to describe the issue.

DateTime can make this error nicer by using namespace::autoclean or namespace::clean -- currently there is a 'catch' method existing in the DateTime namespace because it was imported from Try::Tiny and then not cleaned after the compilation cycle completed. More insight can be had by dropping in [Test::CleanNamespaces] to the dist.ini for this distribution.
