Error/exception handling in an OO-ish way WARNING Using the "Error" module is no longer recommended due to the black-magical nature of its syntactic sugar, which often tends

to break. Its maintainers have stopped actively writing code that uses it, and discourage people from doing so. See the "SEE ALSO" section below for better recommendations. SYNOPSIS use Error qw(:try); throw Error::Simple( "A simple error"); sub xyz { ... record Error::Simple("A simple error") and return; } unlink($file) or throw Error::Simple("$file: $!",$!); try { do_some_stuff(); perl die vs exit die "error!" if $condition; throw Error::Simple "Oops!" if $other_condition; } catch Error::IO with { my $E = shift; print STDERR "File ", $E->{'-file'}, " had a problem\n"; } except { my $E = shift; my $general_handler=sub {send_message $E->{-description}}; return { UserException1 => $general_handler, UserException2 => $general_handler }; } otherwise { print STDERR "Well I don't know what to say\n"; } finally { close_the_garage_door_already(); # Should be reliable }; # Don't forget the trailing ; or you might be surprised DESCRIPTION The Error package provides two interfaces. Firstly Error provides a procedural interface to exception handling. Secondly Error is a base class for errors/exceptions that can either be thrown, for subsequent catch, or can simply be recorded. Errors in the class Error should not be thrown directly, but the user should throw errors from a sub-class of Error. PROCEDURAL INTERFACE Error exports subroutines to perform exception handling. These will be exported if the :try tag is used in the use line. try BLOCK

Its very easy to trap errors in Perl and then handling them properly. Here are few methods which can be used. Using if The if statement is http://search.cpan.org/~shlomif/Error-0.17022/lib/Error.pm the obvious choice when you need to check the return value from a statement; for example: if (open(DATA,$file)) { ... } else { die "Error: Couldn't open the file $!"; } Here variable $! returns the actual error message Alternatively, we can reduce the statement to one line in situations where it makes sense to do so; for example: die "Error: Something went wrong\n" if (error()); Using http://www.tutorialspoint.com/perl/perl_error_handeling.htm unless The unless function is the logical opposite to if: statements can completely bypass the success status and only be executed if the expression returns false. For example: unless(chdir("/etc")) { die "Error: Can't change directory!: $!"; } The unless statement is best used when you want to raise an error or alternative only if the expression fails. The statement also makes sense when used in a single-line statement: die "Error: Can't change directory!: $!" unless(chdir("/etc")); Here we die only if the chdir operation fails, and it reads nicely. Using the Conditional Operator For very short tests, you can use the conditional operator: print(exists($hash{value}) ? 'There' : 'Missing',"\n"); It's not quite so clear here what we are trying to achieve, but the effect is the same as using an if or unless statement. The conditional operator is best used when you want to quickly return one of two values within an expression or statement. The Warn Function The warn function just raises a warning, a message is printed to STDERR, but no further action is taken. chdir('/etc') or warn "Can't change directory"; The Die Function The die function works just like warn, except that it also calls exit.

But I am confused at how you can print the exception that returns. I would like to understand how to do the following try { // do something that will fail! } catch (Error e) { // Print out the perl die vs exception that occurred System.out.println(e.getMessage()); } How do I get the print of the error with the stack trace? perl error-handling try-catch share|improve this question edited Apr 27 '12 at 0:50 Sinan Ünür 93.2k13143284 asked Apr 26 '12 at 23:35 pitchblack408 6181619 add a comment| 3 Answers 3 active oldest votes up vote 34 down vote accepted You're probably better off using Try::Tiny which will help you avoid a number of pitfalls with older perls. use Try::Tiny; try { die "foo"; } catch { warn "caught error: $_"; }; share|improve this answer edited Apr 30 '12 at 20:24 LeoNerd 6,4771227 answered Apr 27 '12 at 0:53 Sinan Ünür 93.2k13143284 How would I dump this warning to the logs? –pitchblack408 Apr 29 '12 at 22:30 Can I create exceptions? –pitchblack408 May 8 '12 at 0:28 1 I am not sure what you're asking. You dump things in log files by logging them and you create exceptions by using die or croak. Are you asking how to put together exception objects etc? That would be a separate question. –Sinan Ünür May 8 '12 at 0:41 add a comment| up vote 29 down vote Last I checked, Error was de

Let me describe how I'm doing it now and, if you have some time to share your experience, I'd be very grateful to you for describing how do you prefer to do it. My own "rules" for myself are quite simple. Don't die() while executing a subrotine or method. Only the main module can die() if something goes wrong. Nobody can predict where the class will be used, so an unexpected die() can break the caller's logic. If I've got an exception inside of a subroutine, the subroutine may return(undef). If everything's fine, it return's some value (it can be true or false - no matter), but if some error has been occuried (e.g. if we can't get data from the database), the undef shall be returned. That's okay, but how to let the caller know what's happened with the subroutine? As I think, the caller must have some explaination to be able to write something to the log-file or to show the error message to the operator. So, there is one more rule. Any class may have the "errstr" attribute, so if its' methor returned undef, the caller may get the explaination from this attribute. So, usually it looks like this: package SomeClass; #... sub some_method { # ... eval { die("Oops!"); }; if($@) { $self->{'errstr'} = "Something has gone wrong: $@"; return(undef) } # ... } #... package main; #... my $result = $obj->some_method; unless(defined($result)) { die("Can't
