NAME
Log::Report::Dispatcher::Try - capture all reports as exceptions
INHERITANCE
Log::Report::Dispatcher::Try
is a Log::Report::Dispatcher
SYNOPSIS
try { ... }; # mind the ';' !!
if($@) { # signals something went wrong
if(try {...}) { # block ended normally
my $x = try { read_temperature() };
my @x = try { read_lines_from_file() };
try { ... } # no comma!!
mode => 'DEBUG', accept => 'ERROR-';
try sub { ... }, # with comma
mode => 'DEBUG', accept => 'ALL';
try \&myhandler, accept => 'ERROR-';
try { ... } hide => 'TRACE';
print ref $@; # Log::Report::Dispatcher::Try
$@->reportFatal; # re-dispatch result of try block
$@->reportAll; # ... also warnings etc
if($@) {...} # if errors
if($@->failed) { # same # }
if($@->success) { # no errors # }
try { # something causes an error report, which is caught
failure 'no network';
};
$@->reportFatal(to => 'syslog'); # overrule destination
print $@->exceptions; # no re-cast, just print
DESCRIPTION
The Log::Report::try() catches errors in the block (CODE reference) which is just
following the function name. All dispatchers are temporarily disabled by "try", and
messages which are reported are collected within a temporary dispatcher named "try". When
the CODE has run, that "try" dispatcher is returned in $@, and all original dispatchers
reinstated.
Then, after the "try" has finished, the routine which used the "try" should decide what to
do with the collected reports. These reports are collected as Log::Report::Exception
objects. They can be ignored, or thrown to a higher level try... causing an exit of the
program if there is none.

on_die => 'ERROR'|'PANIC'
When code which runs in this block exits with a die(), it will get translated into a
Log::Report::Exception using Log::Report::Die::die_decode(). How serious are we
about these errors?
Accessors
Extends "Accessors" in Log::Report::Dispatcher.
$obj->die2reason()
Returns the value of new(on_die).
$obj->died( [STRING] )
The message which was reported by "eval", which is used internally to catch problems
in the try block.
$obj->exceptions()
Returns all collected "Log::Report::Exceptions". The last of them may be a fatal one.
The other are non-fatal.
$obj->hide(REASON|REASONS|ARRAY|'ALL'|'NONE')
[1.09] By default, the try will only catch messages which stop the execution of the
block (errors etc, internally a 'die'). Other messages are passed to parent try
blocks, if none than to the dispatchers.
This option gives the opportunity to block, for instance, trace messages. Those
messages are still collected inside the try object, so may get passed-on later via
reportAll() if you like.
Be warned: Using this method will reset the whole 'hide' configuration: it's a set not
an add.
example: change the setting of the running block
my $parent_try = dispatcher 'active-try';
parent_try->hide('NONE');

$obj->log($opts, $reason, $message)
Other dispatchers translate the message here, and make it leave the program. However,
messages in a "try" block are only captured in an intermediate layer: they may never
be presented to an end-users. And for sure, we do not know the language yet.
The $message is either a STRING or a Log::Report::Message.
$obj->reportAll(%options)
Re-cast the messages in all collect exceptions into the defined dispatchers, which
were disabled during the try block. The %options will end-up as HASH of %options to
Log::Report::report(); see Log::Report::Exception::throw() which does the job.
$obj->reportFatal()
Re-cast only the fatal message to the defined dispatchers. If the block was left
without problems, then nothing will be done. The %options will end-up as HASH of
%options to Log::Report::report(); see Log::Report::Exception::throw() which does the
job.

Status
$obj->failed()
Returns true if the block was left with an fatal message.
$obj->showStatus()
If this object is kept in $@, and someone uses this as string, we want to show the
fatal error message.
The message is not very informative for the good cause: we do not want people to
simply print the $@, but wish for a re-cast of the message using reportAll() or
reportFatal().
$obj->success()
Returns true if the block exited normally.
$obj->wasFatal(%options)
Returns the Log::Report::Exception which caused the "try" block to die, otherwise an
empty LIST (undef).
-Option--Default
class undef
class => CLASS|REGEX
Only return the exception if it was fatal, and in the same time in the specified
CLASS (as string) or matches the REGEX. See Log::Report::Message::inClass()
DETAILS
Extends "DETAILS" in Log::Report::Dispatcher.
OVERLOADING
overload: boolean
Returns true if the previous try block did produce a terminal error. This "try"
object is assigned to $@, and the usual perl syntax is "if($@) {...error-handler...}".
overload: stringify
When $@ is used the traditional way, it is checked to have a string content. In this
case, stringify into the fatal error or nothing.
