NAME

Error::Hierarchy::Base - Base class for hierarchical exception classes

VERSION

version 1.103530

DESCRIPTION

This class is internal, so you're not supposed to use it.

METHODS

new

    my $obj = Error::Hierarchy::Base->new;
    my $obj = Error::Hierarchy::Base->new(%args);

Creates and returns a new object. The constructor will accept as arguments a list of pairs, from component name to initial value. For each pair, the named component is initialized by calling the method of the same name with the given value. If called with a single hash reference, it is dereferenced and its key/value pairs are set as described before.

stringify

This class overloads "" to call this method. It defines how an exception should look like if it is used in a string. In this class this method returns an undefined value, so subclasses should override it. For example, Error::Hierarchy does so.

dump_raw

Dumps the exception using Data::Dumper.

dump_as_yaml

Dumps the exception using YAML.

INSTALLATION

See perlmodinstall for information and options on installing Perl modules.
