SYNOPSIS

Allows you to wrap any method in an eval and specify a dispatch method if the eval trips.

package My::Test;
use Moose;
use MooseX::Error::Trap;

trap 'some_method', 'what_to_do';
sub some_method {
   ...
}

sub what_to_do {
   my ($self, $error) = @_;
   ...
}

Exported Keyword

trap

trap 'wrapped_method', 'trap';

Will wrap any calls to 'wrapped_method' in an eval, and if that eval fails then 'trap' is run.

Currently 'trap' can be either a string or a CodeRef. The case for a code ref is simple if triped execute the code ref, passing $self and $@. When 'trap' is a string things are a bit more complicated. If 'trap' is the name of an attribute of $self we check to see what the type constraint is on that attr, if it's 'CodeRef' then we grab the value and proceede like a CodeRef. For any other type constraint we return the value of that attr. Lastly if 'trap' is the name of a method ($self->can($trap)) then we execute it passing $@ as the only param.

In any other case we just die with $@ as though the eval was not there.

TODO

  • A way to modify the relationship between the method run and the deferment method at runtime.
