This package can parse error response from Google APIs service. You can also create your own basic xml error. All WebService::GData::* classes die a WebService::GData::Error object when something went wrong.

XML error Example:

    <error>
         <domain>yt:validation</domain>
         <code>invalid_character</code>
         <location type='xpath'>media:group/media:title/text()</location>
    </error>

Example:

    use WebService::GData::Error;

    #parse an error from a Google data API server...
    my $entry = new WebService::GData::Error::Entry($xmlerror);
    $entry->code;
    $entry->internalreason;
    $entry->domain;
    $entry->location->{type};#this is just a hash
    $entry->location->{content};#this is just a hash

    #create an error from a Google data API server...
    my $entry = new WebService::GData::Error::Entry();
