 552
 553=head1 DESCRIPTION
 554
 555The C<Error> package provides two interfaces. Firstly C<Error> provides
 556a procedural interface to exception handling. Secondly C<Error> is a
 557base class for errors/exceptions that can either be thrown, for
 558subsequent catch, or can simply be recorded.
 559
 560Errors in the class C<Error> should not be thrown directly, but the
 561user should throw errors from a sub-class of C<Error>.
 562
 563=head1 PROCEDURAL INTERFACE
 564
 565C<Error> exports subroutines to perform exception handling. These will
 566be exported if the C<:try> tag is used in the C<use> line.
 567
 568=over 4
 569
 570=item try BLOCK CLAUSES
 571
 572C<try> is the main subroutine called by the user. All other subroutines
 573exported are clauses to the try subroutine.
 574
 575The BLOCK will be evaluated and, if no error is throw, try will return
 576the result of the block.
 577
 578C<CLAUSES> are the subroutines below, which describe what to do in the
 579event of an error being thrown within BLOCK.
 580
 581=item catch CLASS with BLOCK
 582
 583This clauses will cause all errors that satisfy C<$err-E<gt>isa(CLASS)>
 584to be caught and handled by evaluating C<BLOCK>.
 585
 586C<BLOCK> will be passed two arguments. The first will be the error
 587being thrown. The second is a reference to a scalar variable. If this
 588variable is set by the catch block then, on return from the catch
 589block, try will continue processing as if the catch block was never
 590found.
 591
 592To propagate the error the catch block may call C<$err-E<gt>throw>
 593
 594If the scalar reference by the second argument is not set, and the
 595error is not thrown. Then the current try block will return with the
 596result from the catch block.
 597
 598=item except BLOCK
 599
 600When C<try> is looking for a handler, if an except clause is found
 601C<BLOCK> is evaluated. The return value from this block should be a
 602HASHREF or a list of key-value pairs, where the keys are class names
 603and the values are CODE references for the handler of errors of that
 604type.
 605
 606=item otherwise BLOCK
 607
 608Catch any error by executing the code in C<BLOCK>
 609
 610When evaluated C<BLOCK> will be passed one argument, which will be the
 611error being processed.
 612
 613Only one otherwise block may be specified per try block
 614
 615=item finally BLOCK
 616
 617Execute the code in C<BLOCK> either after the code in the try block has
 618successfully completed, or if the try block throws an error then
 619C<BLOCK> will be executed after the handler has completed.
 620
 621If the handler throws an error then the error will be caught, the
 622finally block will be executed and the error will be re-thrown.
 623
 624Only one finally block may be specified per try block

 628=head1 CLASS INTERFACE
 629
 630=head2 CONSTRUCTORS
 631
 632The C<Error> object is implemented as a HASH. This HASH is initialized
 633with the arguments that are passed to its constructor. The elements
 634that are used by, or are retrievable by the C<Error> class are listed
 635below, other classes may add to these.
 636
 637        -file
 638        -line
 639        -text
 640        -value
 641        -object
 642
 643If C<-file> or C<-line> are not specified in the constructor arguments
 644then these will be initialized with the file name and line number where
 645the constructor was called from.
 646
 647If the error is associated with an object then the object should be
 648passed as the C<-object> argument. This will allow the C<Error> package
 649to associate the error with the object.
 650
 651The C<Error> package remembers the last error created, and also the
 652last error associated with a package. This could either be the last
 653error created by a sub in that package, or the last error which passed
 654an object blessed into that package as the C<-object> argument.
 655
 656=over 4
 657
 658=item throw ( [ ARGS ] )
 659
 660Create a new C<Error> object and throw an error, which will be caught
 661by a surrounding C<try> block, if there is one. Otherwise it will cause
 662the program to exit.
 663
 664C<throw> may also be called on an existing error to re-throw it.
 665
 666=item with ( [ ARGS ] )
 667
 668Create a new C<Error> object and returns it. This is defined for
 669syntactic sugar, eg
 670
 671    die with Some::Error ( ... );
 672
 673=item record ( [ ARGS ] )
 674
 675Create a new C<Error> object and returns it. This is defined for
 676syntactic sugar, eg
 677
 678    record Some::Error ( ... )
 679        and return;

 683=head2 STATIC METHODS
 684
 685=over 4
 686
 687=item prior ( [ PACKAGE ] )
 688
 689Return the last error created, or the last error associated with
 690C<PACKAGE>
 691
 692=item flush ( [ PACKAGE ] )
 693
 694Flush the last error created, or the last error associated with
 695C<PACKAGE>.It is necessary to clear the error stack before exiting the
 696package or uncaught errors generated using C<record> will be reported.

 704=head2 OBJECT METHODS
 705
 706=over 4
 707
 708=item stacktrace
 709
 710If the variable C<$Error::Debug> was non-zero when the error was
 711created, then C<stacktrace> returns a string created by calling
 712C<Carp::longmess>. If the variable was zero the C<stacktrace> returns
 713the text of the error appended with the filename and line number of
 714where the error was created, providing the text does not end with a
 715newline.
 716
 717=item object
 718
 719The object this error was associated with
 720
 721=item file
 722
 723The file where the constructor of this error was called from
 724
 725=item line
 726
 727The line where the constructor of this error was called from
 728
 729=item text
 730
 731The text of the error

 734
 735=head2 OVERLOAD METHODS
 736
 737=over 4
 738
 739=item stringify
 740
 741A method that converts the object into a string. This method may simply
 742return the same as the C<text> method, or it may append more
 743information. For example the file name and line number.
 744
 745By default this method returns the C<-text> argument that was passed to
 746the constructor, or the string C<"Died"> if none was given.
 747
 748=item value
 749
 750A method that will return a value that can be associated with the
 751error. For example if an error was created due to the failure of a
 752system call, then this may return the numeric value of C<$!> at the
 753time.
 754
 755By default this method returns the C<-value> argument that was passed
 756to the constructor.

 760=head1 PRE-DEFINED ERROR CLASSES
 761
 762=over 4
 763
 764=item Error::Simple
 765
 766This class can be used to hold simple error strings and values. Its
 767constructor takes two arguments. The first is a text value, the second
 768is a numeric value. These values are what will be returned by the
 769overload methods.
 770
 771If the text value ends with C<at file line 1> as $@ strings do, then
 772this information will be used to set the C<-file> and C<-line> arguments
 773of the error object.
 774
 775This class is used internally if an eval'd block die's with an error
 776that is a plain string. (Unless C<$Error::ObjectifyCallback> is modified)
 777
 778=back
 779
 780=head1 $Error::ObjectifyCallback
 781
 782This variable holds a reference to a subroutine that converts errors that
 783are plain strings to objects. It is used by Error.pm to convert textual
 784errors to objects, and can be overridden by the user.
 785
 786It accepts a single argument which is a hash reference to named parameters.
 787Currently the only named parameter passed is C<'text'> which is the text
 788of the error, but others may be available in the future.
 789
 790For example the following code will cause Error.pm to throw objects of the
 791class MyError::Bar by default:
 792
 793    sub throw_MyError_Bar
 794    {
 795        my $args = shift;
 796        my $err = MyError::Bar->new();
 797        $err->{'MyBarText'} = $args->{'text'};
 798        return $err;
 799    }
 800
 801    {
 802        local $Error::ObjectifyCallback = \&throw_MyError_Bar;
 803
 804        # Error handling here.
 805    }

 809None, but that does not mean there are not any.
