NAME
       Template::Exception - Exception handling class module

SYNOPSIS
           use Template::Exception;

           my $exception = Template::Exception->new($type, $info);
           $type = $exception->type;
           $info = $exception->info;
           ($type, $info) = $exception->type_info;

           print $exception->as_string();

           $handler = $exception->select_handler(\@candidates);

DESCRIPTION
       The "Template::Exception" module defines an object class for
       representing exceptions within the template processing life cycle.
       Exceptions can be raised by modules within the Template Toolkit, or can
       be generated and returned by user code bound to template variables.

       Exceptions can be raised in a template using the "THROW" directive,

           [% THROW user.login 'no user id: please login' %]

       or by calling the throw() method on the current Template::Context
       object,

           $context->throw('user.passwd', 'Incorrect Password');
           $context->throw('Incorrect Password');    # type 'undef'

       or from Perl code by calling "die()" with a "Template::Exception"
       object,

           die (Template::Exception->new('user.denied', 'Invalid User ID'));

       or by simply calling "die()" with an error string.  This is
       automagically caught and converted to an  exception of '"undef"' type
       (that's the literal string '"undef"' rather than Perl's undefined
       value) which can then be handled in the usual way.

           die "I'm sorry Dave, I can't do that";

       Each exception is defined by its type and a information component (e.g.
       error message).  The type can be any identifying string and may contain
       dotted components (e.g. '"foo"', '"foo.bar"', '"foo.bar.baz"').
       Exception types are considered to be hierarchical such that '"foo.bar"'
       would be a specific type of the more general '"foo"' type.

METHODS
   type()
       Returns the exception type.

   info()
       Returns the exception information.
