Log::Report::Die(3)

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

INHERITANCE
 Log::Report::Die
   is a Exporter

Functions

die_decode(STRING)
    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 $!.

    Return are four elements: the error string which is used to trigger a "Log::Report" compatible "die()", and the options, reason, and text message. The options is a HASH which, amongst other things, may contain a stack trace and location.

    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

          = @{$opt{stack}} ? ($opt{errno} ? 'ALERT' : 'PANIC')
          :                  ($opt{errno} ? 'FAULT' : 'ERROR');
