in thread eval and goto: no worky?

Interesting, I didn't see a warning with warnings and strict on. Did you find that in the documentation?

    It's not a warning, it's a fatal error. You successfully caught the error and subsequently ignored it. An Anonymous Monk shows how you could actually look at the error you are hiding.
