Re^2: Creating exception classes

in reply to Re: Creating exception classes
in thread Creating exception classes

Thanks, that worked..I was thinking classes are blessed hashes, so I was trying to access them that way, looks like Exception::Class module creates accessors to access the fields. Am I correct?

[Athanasius]

From the source code it appears that Exception::Class inherits from Exception::Class::Base. The documentation for Exception::Class::Base catalogues a number of class and/or object methods, among which are these:

MyException->description()
Returns the description for the given Exception::Class::Base subclass. ... This is also an object method.

$exception->error()
Returns the error/message associated with the exception.

So these accessors are, as it were, “built-in” to any class derived from Exception::Class.

Hope that helps,
