NAME
Class::ErrorHandler - Base class for error handlingSYNOPSIS
package Foo; use base qw( Class::ErrorHandler );
sub class_method { my $class = shift; ... return $class->error("Help!") unless $continue; }
sub object_method { my $obj = shift; ... return $obj->error("I am no more") unless $continue; }
package main; use Foo;
Foo->class_method or die Foo->errstr;
my $foo = Foo->new; $foo->object_method or die $foo->errstr;
DESCRIPTION
Class::ErrorHandler provides an error-handling mechanism that's generic enough to be used as the base class for a variety of OO classes. Subclasses inherit its two error-handling methods, error and errstr, to communicate error messages back to the calling program.On failure (for whatever reason), a subclass should call error and return to the caller; error itself sets the error message internally, then returns "undef". This has the effect of the method that failed returning "undef" to the caller. The caller should check for errors by checking for a return value of "undef", and calling errstr to get the value of the error message on an error.
As demonstrated in the SYNOPSIS, error and errstr work as both class methods and object methods.
USAGE
Class->error($message)
$object->error($message)
Sets the error message for either the class Class or the object $object to the message $message. Returns "undef".
Class->errstr
$object->errstr
Accesses the last error message set in the class Class or the object $object, respectively, and returns that error message.
