NAME

       CPANPLUS::Error - error handling for CPANPLUS

SYNOPSIS

           use CPANPLUS::Error qw[cp_msg cp_error];

DESCRIPTION

       This module provides the error handling code for the CPANPLUS libraries, and is mainly
       intended for internal use.

FUNCTIONS

   cp_msg("message string" [,VERBOSE])
       Records a message on the stack, and prints it to "STDOUT" (or actually $MSG_FH, see the
       "GLOBAL VARIABLES" section below), if the "VERBOSE" option is true.  The "VERBOSE" option
       defaults to false.

   msg()
       An alias for "cp_msg".

   cp_error("error string" [,VERBOSE])
       Records an error on the stack, and prints it to "STDERR" (or actually $ERROR_FH, see the
       "GLOBAL VARIABLES" sections below), if the "VERBOSE" option is true.  The "VERBOSE"
       options defaults to true.

   error()
       An alias for "cp_error".

CLASS METHODS

   CPANPLUS::Error->stack()
       Retrieves all the items on the stack. Since "CPANPLUS::Error" is implemented using
       "Log::Message", consult its manpage for the function "retrieve" to see what is returned
       and how to use the items.

   CPANPLUS::Error->stack_as_string([TRACE])
       Returns the whole stack as a printable string. If the "TRACE" option is true all items are
       returned with "Carp::longmess" output, rather than just the message.  "TRACE" defaults to
       false.

   CPANPLUS::Error->flush()
       Removes all the items from the stack and returns them. Since "CPANPLUS::Error" is
       implemented using "Log::Message", consult its manpage for the function "retrieve" to see
       what is returned and how to use the items.

GLOBAL VARIABLES

       $ERROR_FH
           This is the filehandle all the messages sent to "error()" are being printed. This
           defaults to *STDERR.

       $MSG_FH
           This is the filehandle all the messages sent to "msg()" are being printed. This
           default to *STDOUT.
