Log::Report::Die(3)

NAME
Log::Report::Die - compatibility routines with Perl's die/croak/confess

INHERITANCE
 Log::Report::Die
   is an Exporter

SYNOPSIS
  # use internally only

DESCRIPTION
This module is used internally, to translate output of 'die' and Carp functions into Log::Report::Message objects. Also, it tries to convert other kinds of exception frameworks into our message object.

FUNCTIONS

die_decode(STRING, %options)
    The "STRING" is the content of $@ after an eval() caught a die(). croak(), or confess(). This routine tries to convert this into parameters for Log::Report::report(). This is done in a very smart way, even trying to find the stringifications of $!.

    Returned are four elements: the error string or object which triggered the death originally (the original $@), and the opts, reason, and plain text message. The opts is a HASH which, amongst other things, may contain a stack trace and location extracted from the death text or object.

    Translated components will have exception classes "perl", and "die" or "confess". On the moment, the "croak" cannot be distiguished from the "confess" (when used in package main) or "die" (otherwise).

    The returned reason depends on whether the translation of the current $! is found in the "STRING", and the presence of a stack trace. The following table is used:

      errstr  stack  =>  reason
        no      no       ERROR   (die) application internal problem
        yes     no       FAULT   (die) external problem, think open()
        no      yes      PANIC   (confess) implementation error
        yes     yes      ALERT   (confess) external problem, caught

     -Option--Default
      on_die  'ERROR'

    on_die => REASON

exception_decode($exception, %options)
    [1.23] This function attempts to translate object of other exception frameworks into information to create a Log::Report::Exception. It returns the same list of parameters as die_decode() does.

    Currently supported:

    •   DBIx::Class::Exception

    •   XML::LibXML::Error
