package slackget10::Status; use warnings; use strict; =head1 NAME slackget10::Status - A class for returning a status code with its explanations =head1 VERSION Version 0.9.9 =cut our $VERSION = '0.9.9'; =head1 SYNOPSIS This class is used at a status object which can tell more informations to user. In this object are stored couples of integer (the return code of the function which return the status object), and string (the human readable description of the error) use slackget10::Status; my $status = slackget10::Status->new( codes => { 0 => "All operations goes well", 1 => "Parameters unexpected", 2 => "Network error" } ); print "last error message was: ",$status->to_string,"\n"; if($status->to_int == 2) { die "A network error occured\n"; } Please note that you must see at the documentation of a class to know the returned codes. =cut sub new { my ($class,%arg) = @_ ; my $self={ CURRENT_CODE => undef }; return undef if(!defined($arg{'codes'}) && ref($arg{codes}) ne 'HASH'); $self->{CODES} = $arg{'codes'} ; bless($self,$class); return $self; } =head1 CONSTRUCTOR =head2 new You need to pass to the constructor a parameter 'codes' wich contain a hashref with number return code as keys and explanation strings as values : my $status = new slackget10::Status ( codes => { 0 => "All good\n", 1 => "Network unreachable\n", 2 => "Host unreachable\n", 3 => "Remote file seems not exist\n" } ); =head1 FUNCTIONS =head2 to_string Return the explanation string of the current status. if($connection->fetch_file($remote_file,$local_file) > 0) { print "ERROR : ",$status->to_string ; return undef; } else { ... } =cut sub to_string { my $self = shift; return $self->{CODES}->{$self->{CURRENT_CODE}} ; } =head2 to_int Same as to_string but return the code number. =cut sub to_int { my $self = shift; return $self->{CURRENT_CODE} ; } =head2 to_XML return an xml ecoded string, represented the current status. The XML string will be like that : $xml_file->Add($status->to_XML) ; =cut sub to_XML { my $self = shift ; return "to_int()."\" description=\"".$self->to_string()."\" />"; } =head2 to_HTML return the status as an HTML encoded string =cut sub to_HTML { my $self = shift ; return "

Status

code : ".$self->to_int()."
description : ".$self->to_string()."
\n

\n"; } =head2 current Called wihtout argument, just call to_int(), call with an integer argument, set the current status code to this int. my $code = $status->current ; # same effect as my $code = $status->to_int ; or $status->current(12); Warning : call current() with a non-integer argument will fail ! The error code MUST BE AN INTEGER. =cut sub current { my ($self,$code) = @_; if(!defined($code)) { return $self->to_int ; } else { if($code=~ /^\d+$/) { $self->{CURRENT_CODE} = $code; return 1; } else { warn "[slackget10::Status] '$code' is not an integer.\n"; return undef; } } } =head1 AUTHOR DUPUIS Arnaud, C<< >> =head1 BUGS Please report any bugs or feature requests to C, or through the web interface at L.
