As noted in the Try::Tiny man page, eval/$@ can be quite awkward in
corner cases, because $@ has the same properties and problems as C's
errno. While writing a regression test for definetemplate
in which it couldn't find an appropriate template, I received
<span class="error">Error: failed to process template
<span class="createlink">deftmpl</span> </span>
instead of the intended
<span class="error">Error: failed to process template
<span class="createlink">deftmpl</span> template deftmpl not
found</span>
which turned out to be because the "catch"-analogous block called
gettext before it used $@, and gettext can call define_gettext,
which uses eval.
This commit alters all current "catch"-like blocks that use $@, except
those that just do trivial things with $@ (string interpolation, string
concatenation) and call a function (die, error, print, etc.)
git's behaviour when doing "git push origin" is configurable, and the
default is going to change in 2.0. In particular, if you've set
push.default to "nothing", the regression test will warn:
fatal: You didn't specify any refspecs to push, and push.default
is "nothing".
'git push origin' failed: at .../lib/IkiWiki/Plugin/git.pm line 220.

By default, LWP::UserAgent used by IkiWiki to perform outbound HTTP
requests sends the string "libwww-perl/<version number>" as User-Agent
header in HTTP requests. Some blogging platforms have blacklisted the
user agent and won't serve any content for clients using this user agent
string. With IkiWiki configuration option "useragent" it's now possible
to define a custom string that is used for the value of the User-Agent
header.
While here, mollify http://validator.w3.org/feed/ and
s/dcterms:creator/dc:creator/g, which happens to make rss2email see
and do nice things with authors.
Not sure if this is needed to avoid it trying to run an editor. Probably
there is never a controlling terminal and probably git notices and does
nothing. But I'm just copying what I have in git-annex assistant here.
(Although with a much worse git version comparion, that only really works due
to luck.)
I saw this happen with calendar, when it wanted to update a page, that
had a calendar on it, but the page had just been deleted. This caused
srcfile_stat to crash.
RPC::XML uses ascii as default encoding, we have to tell it to use utf8.
Without this, ikiwiki returns "failed to get response from blogspam server"
every time a non-ascii character is used in a content that needs checking.
