NAME

Bio::Phylo::Util::StackTrace - Stack traces for exceptions

SYNOPSIS

use Bio::Phylo::Util::StackTrace;
my $trace = Bio::Phylo::Util::StackTrace->new;
print $trace->as_string;

DESCRIPTION

This is a simple stack trace object that is used by Bio::Phylo::Util::Exceptions. At the moment of its instantiation, it creates a full list of all frames in the call stack (except those originating from with the exceptions class). These can subsequently be stringified by calling as_string().

(If you have no idea what any of this means, don't worry: this class is mostly for internal usage. You can probably ignore this safely.)
