NAME

Die::Hard - objects as resistant to dying as John Maclane

SYNOPSIS

my $fragile = Fragile::Object->new;
my $diehard = Die::Hard->new($fragile);

$diehard->isa('Fragile::Object'); # true
$diehard->method_that_will_die;   # lives!
$fragile->method_that_will_die;   # dies!

DESCRIPTION

Die::Hard allows you to create fairly transparent wrapper object that delegates all method calls through to the wrapped object, but does so within an eval { ... } block. If the wrapped method call dies, then it sets a last_error attribute.

Constructor

new(%attributes)

Standard Moose-style constructor.

new($object)

Shortcut for setting the proxy_for attribute.

Attributes

proxy_for

The object being wrapped. Read-only; required.

last_error

If the last proxied method call died, then this attribute will contain the error. Otherwise will be undef.

Methods

isa

Tells lies; claims to be the object it's proxying.

DOES

Tells the truth; claims to do the object it's proxying.

can

Tells the truth; claims it can do anything the object it's proxying can do.

BUGS

Please report any bugs to http://rt.cpan.org/Dist/Display.html?Queue=Die-Hard.

SEE ALSO

No::Die.

The $_try function from Object::Util is a different way to achieve a similar effect.
