RE (tilly) 2: Handling cascading defaults

[tilly]

I would actually organize that slightly differently:

package Err;

sub new {
    return bless {}, shift;
}

sub err {
    my $self = shift;
    my %args = @_;
    # Do something with %args here
}

And then in other code you would do this:

$handler ||= new Err;
# time passes
&do_right_thing() or $handler->err(title=>'Oops',msg=>'something went 
+wrong');
