NAME

Exception::System - The exception class for system or library calls

SYNOPSIS

  # Loaded automatically if used as Exception::Base's argument
  use Exception::Base ':all',
    'Exception::System',
    'Exception::File' => { isa => 'Exception::System' };

  try eval {
    my $file = "/notfound";
    open FILE, $file
        or throw Exception::File message=>"Can not open file: $file",
                                 file=>$file;
  };
  if (catch Exception::System my $e) {
    if ($e->isa('Exception::File')) { warn "File error:".$e->{errstr}; }
    if ($e->with(errname=>'ENOENT')) { warn "Caught not found error"; }
  }

DESCRIPTION

This class extends standard the Exception::Base manpage with handling system or library errors. The additional fields of the exception object are filled on throw and contain the error message and error codes.

PREREQUISITIES

the Exception::Base manpage >= 0.09

FIELDS

Class fields are implemented as values of blessed hash.

errstr (ro)

Contains the system error string fetched at exception throw. It is the part of the string representing the exception object. It is the same as $! variable in string context.

  eval { throw Exception::System message=>"Message"; };
  catch Exception::System my $e
    and print $e->{errstr};

errstros (ro)

Contains the extended system error string fetched at exception throw. It is the same as $^E variable.

  eval { throw Exception::System message=>"Message"; };
  catch Exception::System my $e and $e->{errstros} ne $e->{errstr}
    and print $e->{errstros};

errno (ro)

Contains the system error number fetched at exception throw. It is the same as $! variable in numeric context.

  eval { throw Exception::System message=>"Message"; };

errname (ro)

Contains the system error constant from the system error.h include file.

  eval { throw Exception::System message=>"Message"; };
  catch Exception::System my $e and $e->{errname} eq 'ENOENT'
    and $e->throw;

METHODS

stringify([$verbosity[, $message]])

Returns the string representation of exception object. The format of output is ``message: error string''.

  eval { open F, "/notexisting"; throw Exception::System; };
  print $@->stringify(1);
  print "$@";

PRIVATE METHODS

_collect_system_data

Collect system data and fill the attributes of exception object. This method is called automatically if exception if throwed.

See the Exception::Base manpage.
