Changes for version 2.02 - 2009-07-01

  • FEATURE: autodie::exception now supports ->context() to discover the context of the failing subroutine, and ->return() to get a list of what it returned.
  • BUGFIX: ->function from autodie::exception now returns the original name of the dying sub, rather than its imported name. For example, 'File::Copy::copy' rather than 'main::copy'. Core functions continue to always return 'CORE::whatever'.
  • TEST: blog_hints.t tests new hinting features against examples in my blog at http://pjf.id.au/blog/
