NAME

       OpaL::action - Perl extension for easier handling of what information that should be
       presented when a action is made.

SYNOPSIS

         use OpaL::action qw(functionnames);

       No functions or variables are exported automaticly so you have to specify them here.

DESCRIPTION

       OpaL::action is a module to allow some better bugtracking and information to be sent to
       the user/developer.

       All functions are autoloaded so they will not be loaded into memory if you have not used
       them before.

       There are 5 different levels of the information/action.

       1.  critical

       2.  error

       3.  warning

       4.  message

       5.  debug

FUNCTIONS

       setQuitLevel
           You can set on what errorlevel the program should exit if an error occur.  The default
           level is 2 and you canges it like this:

           USAGE:
               "setQuitLevel"(level);

       setErrorHandler
           You can set an alternative error handler function (no arguments). The default one is
           exit.

           USAGE:
               "setErrorHandler"(\funcname);

       setDebugLevel
           You can set on what errorlevel the program should output messages if an error occur.
           The debug level indicates what type of information that should be presented to the
           user.

           USAGE:
               "setDebugLevel"(level);

       getQuitLevel
           You can set on what errorlevel the program should exit if an error occur.

           USAGE:
               $foo = "getQuitLevel";

       getDebugLevel
           You can get the debuglevel on which the program should output messages, if an error
           occurs.

           USAGE:
               $foo = "getDebugLevel";

       pdebug
           You can set on what errorlevel the program should exit if an error occur.  With the
           pdebug method you can present information and mark it with a debuglevel using:

           USAGE:
               "pdebug"(level, "A sample informational text." [,funcref]);

       action
           With this function you can handle and print a message if a function does not work
           correctly.

           It will exit the program and print a message with the error level before if the action
           returns true and if the action_critic is lower or equal to the set error level.

           If the debug level is high enough it will present the message but without the trailing
           error message.

           USAGE:
               "action"(some_action,
                      "A sample informational text about the action.",
                       how_critical [,funcref]);

           The last parameter (how_critical) is optional.

       cmdaction
           Actually the same as action with the difference that it executes a external command
           instead.

           It is almost identical to action(system"a command to execute", ...);

           USAGE:
               "cmdaction"("a command to execute.",
                         "A sample informational text about the action.",
                          how_critical,             how_quiet [,funcref]);

           The two last parameter (how_critical) is optional.  The last parameter tells how quiet
           the executing command should be:
             0 - extremely quiet (ie: >& /dev/null)
             1 - quiet           (ie: >& /dev/null)
             2 - everything sent to stdout.  =back
