NAME¶
Params::CallbackRequest::Exceptions - Parameter callback exception definitions
SYNOPSIS¶
use Params::CallbackRequest::Exceptions;
Params::Callback::Exception::Execution->throw("Whoops!");
use Params::CallbackRequest::Exceptions abbr => [qw(throw_cb_exec)];
throw_cb_exec "Whoops!";
DESCRIPTION¶
This module creates the exceptions used by Params::CallbackRequest and
Params::Callback. The exceptions are subclasses of Exception::Class::Base,
created by the interface defined by Exception::Class.
INTERFACE¶
Exported Functions¶
This module exports two functions by default.
"isa_cb_exception"
eval { something_that_dies() };
if (my $err = $@) {
if (isa_cb_exception($err, 'Abort')) {
print "All hands abandon ship!";
} elsif (isa_cb_exception($err)) {
print "I recall an exceptional fault.";
} else {
print "No clue.";
}
}
This function takes a single argument and returns true if it's a
Params::Callback::Exception object. A second, optional argument can be used to
identify a particular subclass of Params::Callback::Exception.
"rethrow_exception"
eval { something_that_dies() };
if (my $err = $@) {
# Do something intelligent, and then...
rethrow_exception($err);
}
This function takes an exception as its sole argument and rethrows it. If the
argument is an object that "can('throw')", such as any subclass of
Exception::Class, then "rethrow_exception()" will call its rethrow
method. If not, but the argument is a reference,
"rethrow_exception()" will simply die with it. And finally, if the
argument is not a reference at all, "rethrow_exception()" will throw
a new Params::Callback::Exception exception with the argument used as the
exception error message.
Abbreviated Exception Functions
Each of the exception classes created by Params::CallbackRequest::Exceptions has
a functional alias for its throw class method. These may be imported by
passing an array reference of the names of the abbreviated functions to import
via the "abbr" parameter:
use Params::CallbackRequest::Exceptions abbr => [qw(throw_cb_exec)];
The names of the abbreviated functions are:
- throw_cb
- Params::Callback::Exception
- throw_bad_key
- Params::Callback::Exception::InvalidKey
- throw_cb_exec
- Params::Callback::Exception::Execution
- throw_bad_params
- Params::Callback::Exception::Params
- throw_abort
- Params::Callback::Exception::Abort
Exception Classes¶
The exception classes created by Params::Callback::Exception are as follows:
Params::Callback::Exception
This is the base class for all Params::Callback exception classes. Its
functional alias is "throw_cb".
Params::Callback::Exception::InvalidKey
Params::CallbackRequest throws this exception when a callback key in the
parameter hash passed to "new()" has no corresponding callback. In
addition to the attributes offered by Exception::Class::Base, this class also
features the attribute "callback_key". Use the
"callback_key()" accessor to see what callback key triggered the
exception. Params::Callback::Exception::InvalidKey's functional alias is
"throw_bad_key".
Params::Callback::Exception::Execution
This is the exception thrown by Params::CallbackRequest's default exception
handler when a callback subroutine or method dies. In addition to the
attributes offered by Exception::Class::Base, this class also features the
attributes "callback_key", which corresponds to the parameter key
that triggered the callback, and "callback_error" which is the error
thrown by the callback subroutine or method.
Params::Callback::Exception::Execution's functional alias is
"throw_cb_exec".
Params::Callback::Exception::Params
This is the exception thrown when an invalid parameter is passed to
Params::CallbackRequest's or Params::Callback's "new()"
constructors. Its functional alias is "throw_bad_params".
Params::Callback::Exception::Abort
This is the exception thrown by Params::Callback's "abort()" method.
functional alias is "throw_cb". In addition to the attributes
offered by Exception::Class::Base, this class also features the attribute
"aborted_value" attribute. Use the "aborted_value()"
accessor to see what value was passed to "abort()".
Params::Callback::Exception::Abort's functional alias is
"throw_abort".
SEE ALSO¶
Params::Callback is the base class for all callback classes.
Params::CallbackRequest sets up callbacks for execution.
Exception::Class defines the interface for the exception classes created here.
