💖 Net::RDAP::Error 💖

okay bestie, gather round, because we're talking about Net::RDAP::Error — the little module that represents an RDAP error. yes, the error module. it's giving "something went wrong and we're gonna tell you about it" and honestly? iconic.

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

Net::RDAP::Object::Error represents an error. no cap. and this error could be one of two whole vibes:

  • an error that got returned by an RDAP server, or
  • an error that got generated internally (aka we made it ourselves, it's homegrown, it's artisanal)

also, Net::RDAP::Object::Error inherits from Net::RDAP::Object, which means it has access to all that module's methods. yes. all of them. the whole inheritance bag. slay. 💅

🎀 METHODS 🎀

  • $code = $error->errorCode; — hands you back the error code number, which corresponds to the HTTP response code. now listen, here's the tea on internally generated errors: they're usually 400 if the arguments passed to Net::RDAP are invalid in some way, and 500 if the response from the server is invalid or cannot be reached. so like, 400 = "bestie what did you even type", 500 = "the server said no and also maybe doesn't exist". 😭
  • $title = $error->title; — returns a string containing a short summary of the error. the lil headline. the tl;dr. the error's whole personality in one line. ✨
  • @description = $error->description; — returns a (potentially empty) array of lines of descriptive text. yes, an array. and yes, it can be empty — sometimes the error simply has nothing more to say and honestly? respect. 🙈
heads up bestie: @description is an array, not a scalar. don't come for me, that's just what the manpage says. 🫶
