This means that logging can be done simply with &warn. - Errors can have tags associated with them which can affect actions or level settings. Since this class overrides perl's die and warn, it affects all module in an application when used by any one module ie Fry::Shell. To fallback on perl's warn and die, set the global variables $DefaultDie or $DefaultWarn to 1. To provide logic for when and when not to fallback you can subclass this module and set the variables within &setDefaultDie or &setDefaultWarn. A Fry::Error has the following attributes: Attributes with a '*' next to them are always defined. *id($): Unique id indicating order among other errors *caller(\@): Contains all of caller()'s data for the error's origin. *from($): Has value of either 'die' or 'warn' indicating from what error subroutine it was called. *level($): Number indicating error level. By default the values should go from 0-7 similar to the syslog command. *arg($): Contains arguments to be passed to a warn or die subroutine. tags(\@): Keywords or tags associated with error. =head1 PUBLIC METHODS Class methods sigHandler(%attr): Passes its arguments directly to &new. This subroutine first defines an error object, provides an early exit via global variables and then performs actions for the error. new(%attributes): Creates an error object. parseDieArgs(@args): Parses arguments given to die() and returns attributes to construct an error object via &new. By default, if the last argument is a hashref, it is interpreted as parameters for the object ie: die('really strange',{tags=>[qw/bizarre/]}) parseWarnArgs(@args): Parses arguments given to warn() and returns attributes to construct an error object via &new. Same default as parseDieArgs. In addition, multiple arguments (up to three) are implicitly matched with the attributes: arg, level,tags. ie: warn('yo',4,'interjection'); would create the following attribute hash {qw/arg yo level 4 tags interjection/} setDefaultDie(@args): Set $DefaultDie for desired cases ie only certain modules. setDefaultWarn(@args): Set $DefaultWarn for desired cases. diesub(@arg): Calls a die-like sub with given arguments ie Carp::croak warnsub(@arg): Calls a warn-like sub with given arguments ie Carp::carp. Object methods setLevel(): Sets an object's level via more complex requirements ie other object attributes such as tags or caller. takeAction(): Can take action on an error based on any attribute, the most likely being 'level'. Aside from the obvious actions of calling a diesub or warnsub, another action could be logging via logging modules such as Log::Dispatch or Log::Log4perl or simplyt to a file. When subclassing this method, don't forget calls to &warnsub and &diesub. =head1 TODO Implement more thorough logging capabilities. =head1 AUTHOR Me. Gabriel that is.
