CPANPLUS::Error(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation CPANPLUS::Error(3) 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. perl v5.38.0 2023-07-25 CPANPLUS::Error(3)
