Locale::Unicode::Exception - Locale Unicode Exception Class

SYNOPSIS

    my $ex = Locale::Unicode::Exception->new({
        code => 400,
        type => $error_type,
        file => '/home/joe/some/lib/My/Module.pm',
        line => 120,
        message => 'Invalid property provided',
        package => 'My::Module',
        subroutine => 'customer_info',
    });

or, providing a list of string that will be concatenated:

    my $ex = Locale::Unicode::Exception->new( "Some error", "has occurred:", $details );

or, re-using an exception object:

    my $ex = Locale::Unicode::Exception->new( $other_exception_object );

    $object->customer_orders ||
        die( "Error in file ", $object->error->file, " at line ", $object->error->line, "\n" );
    # or simply:
    $object->customer_orders || die( "Error: ", $object->error, "\n" );

DESCRIPTION

This is an exception class for Locale::Unicode

When stringified, it provides the error message along with precise information about where the error occurred.

Locale::Unicode::Exception objects are created by "error" in Locale::Unicode method.

METHODS

new

It takes either an Locale::Unicode::Exception object or an hash reference of properties, or a list of arguments that will be concatanated to form the error message. The list of arguments can contain code reference such as reference to sub routines, who will be called and their returned value added to the error message string. For example :

    my $ex = Locale::Unicode::Exception->new( "Invalid property. Value recieved are: ", sub{ Dumper( $hash ) } );

    # or

    my $ex = Locale::Unicode::Exception->new( $other_exception_object_for_reuse );
    # This will the object property

    # or

    my #ex = Locale::Unicode::Exception->new({
        message => "Invalid property.",
        code => 400,
        type => 'customer',
    })

Possible properties that can be specified are:

• code

  An error code

• file

  The location where the error occurred. This is populated using the "filename" in Devel::StackTrace

• line

  The line number in the file where the error occurred.This is populated using the "line" in Devel::StackTrace

• message

  The error message. It can be provided as a list of arguments that will be concatenated, or as the message property in an hash reference, or copied from another exception object passed as the sole argument.

• package

  The package name where the error occurred. This is populated using the "package" in Devel::StackTrace

• retry_after

  An optional value to indicate in seconds how long to wait to retry.

• skip_frames

  This is used as a parameter to caller upon instantiation to instruct how many it should skip to start getting key values.

• type

  An optional error type

It returns the exception object.

as_string

This returns a string representation of the Exception such as :

    Invalid property within package My::Module at line 120 in file /home/john/lib/My/Module.pm

code

Set or get the error code. It returns the current value.

file

Set or get the file path where the error originated. It returns the current value.

line

Set or get the line where the error originated. It returns the current value.

message

Set or get the error message. It returns the current value.

It takes a string, or a list of strings which will be concatenated.

For example :

    $ex->messsage( "I found some error:", $some_data );

package

Set or get the class/package name where the error originated. It returns the current value.

PROPAGATE

This method is called by perl when you call "die" in perlfunc with no parameters and $@ is set to a Locale::Unicode::Exception object.

This returns a new exception object that perl will use to replace the value in $@

rethrow

This rethrow (i.e. "die" in perlfunc) the original error. It must be called with the exception object or else it will return undef.

This is ok :

    $ex->rethrow;

But this is not :

    Locale::Unicode::Exception->rethrow;

retry_after

Set or get the number of seconds to way before to retry whatever cause the error. It returns the current value.

throw

Provided with a message string, this will create a new Locale::Unicode::Exception object and call "die" in perlfunc with it.

TO_JSON

Special method called by JSON to transform this object into a string suitable to be added in a json data.

type

Set or get the error type. It returns the current value.

SERIALISATION

Serialisation by CBOR, Sereal and Storable::Improved (or the legacy Storable) is supported by this package. To that effect, the following subroutines are implemented: FREEZE, THAW, STORABLE_freeze and STORABLE_thaw
