Aspect...turning(3pm)

✨ NAME ✨

Aspect::Pointcut::Returning — the pointcut that catches a function returning without exception 💖 (yes bestie, the manual page is literally called Aspect...turning(3pm) and no, the truncation is not me being dramatic, it's just how the file name got squished)

Like, here's the vibe:

use Aspect;

# Don't trap Foo::Exception object exceptions
after {
    $_->return_value(1)
} call 'Foo::bar' & returning;

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so listen 🫶 — the Aspect::Pointcut::Returning pointcut is the one you reach for when you need to match the situations where your after advice should NOT run because the function is out here throwing an exception. 😭

That's it. That's the whole job. It's giving very niche, very specific, very slay. If the sub is mid-throw, your after block stays in its lane and does not fire. Periodt. 💅
