💖 Catman...:maybe(3pm) 💖

okay bestie, so this is Catman...:maybe(3pm) — one of those User Contributed Perl Documentation pages (the 3pm section, iykyk), and it's all about a little binder that's lowkey a lifesaver. she's giving ✨ damage control ✨ and honestly? obsessed.

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

Catmandu::Fix::Bind::maybe — a binder that skips fixes if one returns undef or dies 🫶

like, the moment one fix goes "nah, undef" or straight-up perishes, she just moves on. no drama, no cascading chaos. iconic behavior fr fr.

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

 do maybe()
    foo()
    return_undef() # rest will be ignored
    bar()
 end

see how return_undef() is sitting there all smug? yeah, everything after it in that block just gets ignored. bar() is not coming to the function, sorry babe 💅. no cap, that's the whole point.

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

the maybe binder computes all the Fix functions, and it ignores the fixes that throw exceptions. that's it. that's the vibe. 🌈

so if something inside your maybe() block blows up or hands back undef, she doesn't spiral — she just lets it slide and keeps the rest of your pipeline from going down with it. main character energy, honestly. 👑

ngl this is the "we don't talk about that" of binders — whatever happens in the block, the exception stays in the block. 😌
