+
+Error - Error/exception handling in an OO-ish way
+
+=head1 WARNING
+
+Using the "Error" module is B<no longer recommended> due to the black-magical
+nature of its syntactic sugar, which often tends to break. Its maintainers
+have stopped actively writing code that uses it, and discourage people
+from doing so. See the "SEE ALSO" section below for better recommendations.
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+    use Error qw(:try);
+
+    throw Error::Simple( "A simple error");
+
+    sub xyz {
+        ...
+	record Error::Simple("A simple error")
+	    and return;
+    }
+
+    unlink($file) or throw Error::Simple("$file: $!",$!);
+
+    try {
+	do_some_stuff();
+	die "error!" if $condition;
+	throw Error::Simple "Oops!" if $other_condition;
+    }
+    catch Error::IO with {
+	my $E = shift;
+	print STDERR "File ", $E->{'-file'}, " had a problem\n";
+    }
+    except {
+	my $E = shift;
+	my $general_handler=sub {send_message $E->{-description}};
+	return {

+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+The C<Error> package provides two interfaces. Firstly C<Error> provides
+a procedural interface to exception handling. Secondly C<Error> is a
+base class for errors/exceptions that can either be thrown, for
+subsequent catch, or can simply be recorded.
+
+Errors in the class C<Error> should not be thrown directly, but the
+user should throw errors from a sub-class of C<Error>.
+
+=head1 PROCEDURAL INTERFACE
+
+C<Error> exports subroutines to perform exception handling. These will
+be exported if the C<:try> tag is used in the C<use> line.
+
+=over 4
+
+=item try BLOCK CLAUSES
+
+C<try> is the main subroutine called by the user. All other subroutines
+exported are clauses to the try subroutine.
+
+The BLOCK will be evaluated and, if no error is throw, try will return
+the result of the block.
+
+C<CLAUSES> are the subroutines below, which describe what to do in the
+event of an error being thrown within BLOCK.
+
+=item catch CLASS with BLOCK
+
+This clauses will cause all errors that satisfy C<$err-E<gt>isa(CLASS)>
+to be caught and handled by evaluating C<BLOCK>.
+
+C<BLOCK> will be passed two arguments. The first will be the error
+being thrown. The second is a reference to a scalar variable. If this
+variable is set by the catch block then, on return from the catch
+block, try will continue processing as if the catch block was never
+found. The error will also be available in C<$@>.
+
+To propagate the error the catch block may call C<$err-E<gt>throw>
+
+If the scalar reference by the second argument is not set, and the
+error is not thrown. Then the current try block will return with the
+result from the catch block.
+
+=item except BLOCK
+
+When C<try> is looking for a handler, if an except clause is found
+C<BLOCK> is evaluated. The return value from this block should be a
+HASHREF or a list of key-value pairs, where the keys are class names
+and the values are CODE references for the handler of errors of that
+type.
+
+=item otherwise BLOCK
+
+Catch any error by executing the code in C<BLOCK>
+
+When evaluated C<BLOCK> will be passed one argument, which will be the
+error being processed. The error will also be available in C<$@>.
+
+Only one otherwise block may be specified per try block
+
+=item finally BLOCK
+
+Execute the code in C<BLOCK> either after the code in the try block has
+successfully completed, or if the try block throws an error then
+C<BLOCK> will be executed after the handler has completed.
+
+If the handler throws an error then the error will be caught, the
+finally block will be executed and the error will be re-thrown.
+
+Only one finally block may be specified per try block

+=head1 COMPATIBILITY
+
+L<Moose> exports a keyword called C<with> which clashes with Error's. This
+example returns a prototype mismatch error:
+
+    package MyTest;
+
+    use warnings;
+    use Moose;
+    use Error qw(:try);
+
+(Thanks to C<maik.hentsche@amd.com> for the report.).
+
+=head1 CLASS INTERFACE
+
+=head2 CONSTRUCTORS
+
+The C<Error> object is implemented as a HASH. This HASH is initialized
+with the arguments that are passed to it's constructor. The elements
+that are used by, or are retrievable by the C<Error> class are listed
+below, other classes may add to these.
+
+	-file
+	-line
+	-text
+	-value
+	-object
+
+If C<-file> or C<-line> are not specified in the constructor arguments
+then these will be initialized with the file name and line number where
+the constructor was called from.
+
+If the error is associated with an object then the object should be
+passed as the C<-object> argument. This will allow the C<Error> package
+to associate the error with the object.
+
+The C<Error> package remembers the last error created, and also the
+last error associated with a package. This could either be the last
+error created by a sub in that package, or the last error which passed
+an object blessed into that package as the C<-object> argument.

+=item Error->new()

+See the Error::Simple documentation.
+
+=item throw ( [ ARGS ] )
+
+Create a new C<Error> object and throw an error, which will be caught
+by a surrounding C<try> block, if there is one. Otherwise it will cause
+the program to exit.
+
+C<throw> may also be called on an existing error to re-throw it.
+
+=item with ( [ ARGS ] )
+
+Create a new C<Error> object and returns it. This is defined for
+syntactic sugar, eg
+
+    die with Some::Error ( ... );
+
+=item record ( [ ARGS ] )

+
+=item flush ( [ PACKAGE ] )
+

+=head2 OBJECT METHODS
+
+=over 4
+
+=item stacktrace
+
+If the variable C<$Error::Debug> was non-zero when the error was
+created, then C<stacktrace> returns a string created by calling
+C<Carp::longmess>. If the variable was zero the C<stacktrace> returns
+the text of the error appended with the filename and line number of
+where the error was created, providing the text does not end with a
+newline.
+
+=item object
+
+The object this error was associated with
+
+=item file
+
+The file where the constructor of this error was called from
+
+=item line
+
+The line where the constructor of this error was called from
+
+=item text
+
+The text of the error
+
+=item $err->associate($obj)
+
+Associates an error with an object to allow error propagation. I.e:
+
+    $ber->encode(...) or
+        return Error->prior($ber)->associate($ldap);
+

+
+=head2 OVERLOAD METHODS
+
+=over 4
+
+=item stringify
+
+A method that converts the object into a string. This method may simply
+return the same as the C<text> method, or it may append more
+information. For example the file name and line number.
+
+By default this method returns the C<-text> argument that was passed to
+the constructor, or the string C<"Died"> if none was given.
+
+=item value
+
+A method that will return a value that can be associated with the
+error. For example if an error was created due to the failure of a
+system call, then this may return the numeric value of C<$!> at the
+time.
+
+By default this method returns the C<-value> argument that was passed
+to the constructor.
+
+=back
+
+=head1 PRE-DEFINED ERROR CLASSES
+
+=head2 Error::Simple
+
+This class can be used to hold simple error strings and values. It's
+constructor takes two arguments. The first is a text value, the second
+is a numeric value. These values are what will be returned by the
+overload methods.
+
+If the text value ends with C<at file line 1> as $@ strings do, then
+this information will be used to set the C<-file> and C<-line> arguments
+of the error object.
+
+This class is used internally if an eval'd block die's with an error
+that is a plain string. (Unless C<$Error::ObjectifyCallback> is modified)
+
+
+=head1 $Error::ObjectifyCallback
+
+This variable holds a reference to a subroutine that converts errors that
+are plain strings to objects. It is used by Error.pm to convert textual
+errors to objects, and can be overridden by the user.
+
+It accepts a single argument which is a hash reference to named parameters.
+Currently the only named parameter passed is C<'text'> which is the text
+of the error, but others may be available in the future.
+
+For example the following code will cause Error.pm to throw objects of the
+class MyError::Bar by default:
+
+    sub throw_MyError_Bar
+    {
+        my $args = shift;
+        my $err = MyError::Bar->new();
+        $err->{'MyBarText'} = $args->{'text'};
+        return $err;
+    }
+
+    {
+        local $Error::ObjectifyCallback = \&throw_MyError_Bar;
+
+        # Error handling here.
+    }
+
+=cut
+
+=head1 MESSAGE HANDLERS
+
+C<Error> also provides handlers to extend the output of the C<warn()> perl
+function, and to handle the printing of a thrown C<Error> that is not caught
+or otherwise handled. These are not installed by default, but are requested
+using the C<:warndie> tag in the C<use> line.
+
+ use Error qw( :warndie );
+
+These new error handlers are installed in C<$SIG{__WARN__}> and
+C<$SIG{__DIE__}>. If these handlers are already defined when the tag is
+imported, the old values are stored, and used during the new code. Thus, to
+arrange for custom handling of warnings and errors, you will need to perform
+something like the following:
+
+ BEGIN {
+   $SIG{__WARN__} = sub {
+     print STDERR "My special warning handler: $_[0]"
+   };
+ }
+
+ use Error qw( :warndie );
+
+Note that setting C<$SIG{__WARN__}> after the C<:warndie> tag has been
+imported will overwrite the handler that C<Error> provides. If this cannot be
+avoided, then the tag can be explicitly C<import>ed later
+
+ use Error;
+
+ $SIG{__WARN__} = ...;
+
+ import Error qw( :warndie );
+
+=head2 EXAMPLE
+
+The C<__DIE__> handler turns messages such as
+
+ Can't call method "foo" on an undefined value at examples/warndie.pl line 16.
+
+into
+
+ Unhandled perl error caught at toplevel:
+
+   Can't call method "foo" on an undefined value
+
+ Thrown from: examples/warndie.pl:16
+
+ Full stack trace:
+
+         main::inner('undef') called at examples/warndie.pl line 20
+         main::outer('undef') called at examples/warndie.pl line 23

+
+=head1 SEE ALSO
+
+See L<Exception::Class> for a different module providing Object-Oriented
+exception handling, along with a convenient syntax for declaring hierarchies
+for them. It doesn't provide Error's syntactic sugar of C<try { ... }>,
+C<catch { ... }>, etc. which may be a good thing or a bad thing based
+on what you want. (Because Error's syntactic sugar tends to break.)
+
+L<Error::Exception> aims to combine L<Error> and L<Exception::Class>
+"with correct stringification".
+
+L<TryCatch> and L<Try::Tiny> are similar in concept to Error.pm only providing
+a syntax that hopefully breaks less.
+
+=head1 KNOWN BUGS
+
+None, but that does not mean there are not any.
