SYNOPSIS

    package Foo;
    use Razor::Errorhandler;
    @ISA = qw(Razor::Errorhandler);
    sub alive {
        ..
        ..
        return
        $self−>error ("Awake, awake! Ring the alarum bell. \
                       Murther and treason!", $dagger)
            if $self−>murdered($king);
    }

DESCRIPTION

Razor::Errorhandler encapsulates the error handling mechanism used by the modules in Razor bundle. Razor::Errorhandler doesn’t have a constructor and is meant to be inherited. The derived modules use its two methods, error() and errstr(), to communicate error messages to the caller.

When a method of the derived module fails, it calls $self−>error() and returns to the caller. The error message passed to error() is made available to the caller through the errstr() accessor. error() also accepts a list of sensitive data that it wipes out (undef’es) before returning.

The caller should never call errstr() to check for errors. errstr() should be called only when a method indicates (usually through an undef return value) that an error has occured. This is because errstr() is never overwritten and will always contain a value after the occurance of first error.

METHODS

error($mesage, ($wipeme, $wipemetoo))

The first argument to error() is $message which is placed in $self−>{errstr} and the remaining arguments are interpretted as variables containing sensitive data that are wiped out from the memory. error() always returns undef.

errstr()

errstr() is an accessor method for $self−>{errstr}.
