Error(3pm)

💖 Error(3pm) — Lire::Error 💖

okay so this is the Error(3pm) page, and it's literally the manual for Lire::Error, aka the standard error messages library. you're gonna love her, she's so useful 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

Lire::Error — the standard error messages library, no cap 🌸

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

bestie, here's the whole vibe in code, copy it exactly:

  use Lire::Error qw/ file_not_readable directory_already_exists /;

  open my $fh, '/tmp/mikwuk'
    or die file_not_readable( 'mikwuk' );

  croak directory_already_exists( '/tmp/tempdir/wawadir' )
    if ( -d '/tmp/tempdir/wawadir' );

so you pull in file_not_readable and directory_already_exists, and then you can die or croak with a properly-formed message. iconic behaviour honestly 👑

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

okay so real talk: this module implements an API to obtain all the standard error messages that are found across the Lire scripts, utilities or modules. one stop shop, no more improvising your own error strings 💅

and the best part? most of them are translated appropriately ✨ so the messages actually speak the user's language. we love accessible errors, periodt.
