NAME Exception::System - The exception class for system or library calls SYNOPSIS # The simplest usage use Exception::Base 'Exception::System'; open my $file, "/notfound" or Exception::System->throw(message=>"Can not open file"); # The Exception::System class can be a base class for others # # Loaded automatically if used as Exception::Base's argument use Exception::Base, 'Exception::System', 'Exception::File' => { isa => 'Exception::System', has => 'filename', string_attributes => [ 'message', 'errstr', 'filename' ], }; eval { my $filename = "/notfound"; open my $fh, $filename or Exception::File->throw( message=>"Can not open file", filename=>$filename, ); }; if ($@) { my $e = Exception::Base->catch; if ($e->isa('Exception::File')) { warn "File error:".$e->errstr; } if ($e->matches({errname=>'ENOENT'})) { warn "Caught not found error"; } } DESCRIPTION This class extends standard Exception::Base with handling system or library errors. The additional attributes of the exception object are filled on throw and contain the error message and error codes. AUTHOR Piotr Roszatycki LICENSE Copyright (C) 2007, 2008 by Piotr Roszatycki .
