NAME

results::wrap - wrap a method call in a Result

SYNOPSIS

Assuming that $object->foo( @args ) is a method call which might return a value or throw an exception, you can convert it to an ok/err Result using:

  use results::wrap;
  
  my $result = $object->results::wrap::foo( @args );

Or:

  use results::wrap;
  
  my $result = $object->results::wrap( foo => @args );

Or:

  use results::wrap;

  my $result = results::wrap { $object->foo( @args ) };

DESCRIPTION

This module uses AUTOLOAD to provide a Result wrapper around any method call.

It also provides a results::wrap sub which can be either passed a list of $invocant, $method, @args or a single coderef.

results::wrap is conveniently prototyped with (&) to that it can be called with a block.

  my $result = results::wrap {
    if ( $failing_condition ) {
      die "Error";
    }
    else {
      return "Value";
    }
  };
