NAME

Bio::Phylo::Util::Exceptions - Exception classes for Bio::Phylo. No serviceable parts inside.

DESCRIPTION

This package defines exceptions that can be thrown by other modules. There are no serviceable parts inside. Refer to the Exception::Class perldoc for examples on how to catch exceptions and show traces.

EXCEPTION TYPES

Bio::Phylo::Util::Exceptions::BadNumber

Thrown when anything other than a number that passes Scalar::Util's looks_like_number test is given as an argument to a method that expects a number.

Bio::Phylo::Util::Exceptions::BadString

Thrown when a string that contains any of the characters ():;, is given as an argument to a method that expects a name.

Bio::Phylo::Util::Exceptions::BadFormat

Thrown when a non-existing parser or unparser format is requested, in calls such as parse( -format => 'newik', -string => $string ), where 'newik' doesn't exist.

Bio::Phylo::Util::Exceptions::OddHash

Thrown when an odd number of arguments has been specified. This might happen if you call a method that requires named arguments and the key/value pairs don't seem to match up.

Bio::Phylo::Util::Exceptions::ObjectMismatch

Thrown when a method is called that requires an object as an argument, and the wrong type of object is specified.

Bio::Phylo::Util::Exceptions::UnknownMethod

Trown when an indirect method call is attempted through the $obj->get('unknown_method') interface, and the object doesn't seem to implement the requested method.

Bio::Phylo::Util::Exceptions::BadArgs

Thrown when something undefined is wrong with the supplied arguments.

Bio::Phylo::Util::Exceptions::FileError

Thrown when a file specified as an argument does not exist or is not readable.

Bio::Phylo::Util::Exceptions::ExtensionError

Thrown when there is an error loading a requested extension.

Bio::Phylo::Util::Exceptions::OutOfBounds

Thrown when an entity is requested that falls outside of the range of objects contained by a Bio::Phylo::Listable subclass, probably through the $obj->get_by_index($i) method call.

Bio::Phylo::Util::Exceptions::NotImplemented

Thrown when an interface method is called instead of the implementation by the child class.
