Description
The creation of ensembl VM 99 exposed some issues with installing Try::Tiny with cpanm on perl 5.14.4 using plenv. Try::Tiny has been already in use for a few releases with no issues, but added to the cpan file this release. Using perl 5.26.1 fixes the problem, but given that the Try::Tiny dependency is used in only one module and is easily replaced with alternative methods it would perhaps be good to drop it.
Use case
See ENSCORESW-3303
Benefits
One less external perl module dependency. VM build can happen in perl 5.14
Possible Drawbacks
Discourages future usage of Try::Tiny
