Unfortunately, this causes any warnings or errors to be lost. Worse, fatal errors can cause your program to silently disappear, forcing you to restart the program, attached to a console, and hope you can reproduce the error. This module makes it easy to see any errors or warnings your console-less program might produce by catching any errors and/or warnings and displaying them in a pop-up dialog box using Win32::GUI. It is similar in spirit to CGI::Carp's C<fatalsToBrowser> and C<warningsToBrowser> special import directives. To cause errors or warnings to be displayed in a dialog, simply specify one or more of the following options on the C<use> line, as shown in the L<SYNOPSIS|"SYNOPSIS">. =head1 IMPORT OPTIONS =head2 C<warningsToDialog> Show any warnings in a pop-up dialog box. This option will cause a dialog box to be displayed containing the text of the warnings. The type and style of the dialog box can be configured (see L<"CONFIGURATION">). Note that warnings are still sent to C<STDERR> as well. This option can also be activated or deactivated by setting C<$Win32::GUI::Carp::WarningsToDialog> to true or false, respectively. =head2 C<fatalsToDialog> Show any fatal errors in a pop-up dialog box. This option will cause a dialog box to be displayed containing the text of the fatal error. The type and style of the dialog box can be configured (see L<"CONFIGURATION">). Note that errors are still sent to C<STDERR> as well. This option can also be activated or deactivated by setting C<$Win32::GUI::Carp::FatalsToDialog> to true or false, respectively. =head2 C<immediateWarnings> This option controls whether all errors and warnings are displayed in a single dialog box or each get their own. By default, warnings are buffered and not shown until just before the program terminates. At that point, any warnings and errors are shown together in a single dialog box. This is to cut down on the number of dialogs that have to be clicked through, although it means that you can't tell when a particular warning occurred. If this option is specified, each warning and error message will get its own dialog box which will be displayed as soon as the warning or error occurs. Note that warnings are always printed to C<STDERR> as soon as they occur, regardless of the state of this option. Care should be taken when setting this option as it can cause a large number of dialog boxes to be created. This option can also be activated or deactivated by setting C<$Win32::GUI::Carp::ImmediateWarnings> to true or false, respectively. =head1 FUNCTIONS =head2 C<winwarn> Raises a warning, using a dialog. This function ignores the state of C<warningsToDialog>, although all other options are observed (including ImmediateWarnings). =head2 C<windie> Raises a fatal error, using a dialog. This function ignores the state of C<fatalsToDialog>, although all other options are observed. =head2 C<syscarp> Executes a system command, just like L<system>, but passes its its STDERR through any warn filters. In other words, if the command displays anything on STDERR, it will show up as a warning in the calling program, and thus display in a dialog (respecting warningsToDialog). Note: The name of this function is subject to change, as I think it is somewhat misleading. =head2 C<syscroak> Does the same thing as L<"syscarp"> but dies if anything is sent to STDERR. It includes a message with the return value of the process. Note: The name of this function is subject to change, as I think it is somewhat misleading. =head1 CONFIGURATION The following variables control the style and type of dialog box used. =head2 C<$Win32::GUI::Carp::DialogTitle> A string that will be used as the title of the dialog box. This defaults to "Warning" when displaying warnings, and "Error" when displaying fatal errors. =head2 C<$Win32::GUI::Carp::FatalFilter> Set this to a reference to a subroutine that should be called whenever a fatal error is about to be shown in a dialog. The routine receives the error message in C<@_>, and if it returns a true value the error will be sent to the dialog as normal, otherwise the dialog will not be shown (though the error still propagates as normal). =head2 C<$Win32::GUI::Carp::WarningFilter> Set this to a reference to a subroutine that should be called whenever a warning is about to be shown in a dialog. The routine receives the warning message in C<@_>, and if it returns a true value the warning will be sent to the dialog as normal, otherwise the dialog will not be shown (though the warning still propagates as normal). =head1 DEPENDANCIES This module relies on the following other modules to be installed: =over 4 =item Win32::GUI =item Carp =item IPC::Open3 (for L<"syscarp"> and L<"syscroak">) =back =head1 BUGS =over 4 =item * This module installs a signal handler for both C<__DIE__> and C<__WARN__>. While it does save any previous handlers and chain them properly, any new handler that is installed will effectively disable the C<fatalsToDialog> and C<warningsToDialog> options, respectively. Note that, as this module's handlers are installed at compile time, it is probable that I<any> other handlers will be "new." Especially if these changes aren't properly localized, this can cause us to miss many errors. There is a work-around, but it's a bit of an ugly hack, and involves tying %SIG, which seems dangerous. I may include it as an option in the future. =item * By default, C<carp()>, C<croak()> and C<confess()> are exported from C<Carp>. If nothing is specified in the import list (including the special C<*ToDialog> and C<immediateWarnings> options), then C<Win32::GUI::Carp> also exports those functions. As soon as I<anything> is given in the import list, however, C<Exporter> stops exporting the things in C<@EXPORT> (meaning the aforementioned functions don't get exported). =item * There seems to be a bug on I<some> versions of Win32 affecting L<"syscarp"> and, moreso, L<"syscroak"> where $? is always set to 0, instead of the correct return value of the called program. =back =head1 CHANGELOG =over 4 =item 1.01 (04/23/2003) Added $FatalFilter and $WarningFilter =item 1.0 (10/25/2002) Adapted from Tk::Carp Fixed bug where calling L<"windie"> or L<"winwarn"> with messages that didn't end in a newline would report the wrong line number (ie, inside Win32::GUI::Carp). Fixed bug where warningsToDialog was ignored by warnings generated in old / chained __WARN__ and __DIE__ handlers. Fixed bug where immediateWarnings was ignored by warnings generated in old / chained __WARN__ handlers. =back =head1 AUTHOR Copyright 2002, Cory Johns.
