Succinct way to change thrown Exception to Failure?

Question

Is there a more succinct way to lift a thrown Exception to a Failure than the following?

try {
    die 'always';
    CATCH { default { fail $_ } }
}

Answer 1

Here's a more succinct version of moritz' code.

(try something()) orelse fail $!;

Answer 2

try something();
fail $! if $!;

Note that CATCH blocks apply to all statements in the same scope, even to code after the CATCH block. So if you want to use CATCH blocks, be careful about keeping the scope small.
