DESCRIPTION

This script offers several ways of die-ing (or warning/croaking/carping). You can specify the various aspects via command-line options.

What this can be used for:

• Seeing what stack trace looks like

  For example:

   % PERL5OPT=-MCarp::Always perl-example-die
   % PERL5OPT=-d:Confess=color,dump perl-example-die --croak --msgtype ref

OPTIONS

--msgtype=S

Message type.

• ref

  Die with a message of reference (an arrayref).

• empty

  die() without any message.

• strnonl

  Die with a default string message without a newline-ending.

• strnl

  Die with a default string message with a newline-ending.

• str:STR

  Die with a string specified in the argument (STR). You can test, e.g. Unicode characters.

If unspecified, will pick a random way.

--warn

Use warn instead of the default die.

--croak

Use Carp's croak instead of die.

CONTRIBUTING

To contribute, you can send patches by email/via RT, or send pull requests on GitHub.

Most of the time, you don't need to build the distribution yourself. You can simply modify the code, then test via:

 % prove -l

If you want to build the distribution (e.g. to try to install it locally on your system), you can install Dist::Zilla, Dist::Zilla::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, Pod::Weaver::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, and sometimes one or two other Dist::Zilla- and/or Pod::Weaver plugins. Any additional steps required beyond that are considered a bug and can be reported to me.
