NAME
Throwable - a role for classes that can be thrown
VERSION
version 1.001
SYNOPSIS
package Redirect;
# NOTE: Moo can also be used here instead of Moose
use Moose;
with 'Throwable';
has url => (is => 'ro');
...then later...
Redirect->throw({ url => $url });
DESCRIPTION
Throwable is a role for classes that are meant to be thrown as
exceptions to standard program flow. It is very simple and does only
two things: saves any previous value for $@ and calls "die $self".
Throwable is implemented with Moo, so you can stick to Moo or use
Moose, as you prefer.
PERL VERSION
This library should run on perls released even a long time ago. It
should work on any version of perl released in the last five years.
Although it may work on older versions of perl, no guarantee is made
that the minimum required version will not be increased. The version
may be increased for any reason, and there is no promise that patches
will be accepted to lower the minimum required perl.
ATTRIBUTES
previous_exception
This attribute is created automatically, and stores the value of $@
when the Throwable object is created. This is done on a best effort
basis. $@ is subject to lots of spooky action-at-a-distance. For now,
there are clearly ways that the previous exception could be lost.
METHODS
throw
Something::Throwable->throw({ attr => $value });
This method will call new, passing all arguments along to new, and will
then use the created object as the only argument to "die".
If called on an object that does Throwable, the object will be
rethrown.
new_with_previous
die Something::Throwable->new_with_previous({ attr => $value });
Constructs an exception object and return it, while trying to make sure
that any values in $@ are safely stored in "previous_exception" without
being stomped by evals in the construction process.
This is more reliable than calling "new" directly, but doesn't include
the forced "die" in "throw".
