Parse:...::Perl(3pm)

💖 Parse::ErrorString::Perl — ok bestie, it's giving parser energy 💖

So this page lives in the User Contributed Perl Documentation section, and it's filed under Parse:...::Perl(3pm) (yes the name is abbreviated like that, that's just how it's indexed, don't come for me).

✨ NAME ✨

Parse::ErrorString::Perl — parse error messages from the perl interpreter 🦋

Like. That's the whole vibe. Perl yells at you, this module reads the yelling and translates it into something structured. Iconic behaviour honestly.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

Here's the tea, code-verbatim, no cap:

use Parse::ErrorString::Perl;

my $parser = Parse::ErrorString::Perl->new;
# or: my $parser = Parse::ErrorString::Perl->new(lang => 'FR')
# to get localized explanations
my @errors = $parser->parse_string($string_containing_stderr_output);

foreach my $error(@errors) {
print 'Captured error message "' .
    $error->message .
    '" in file ' . $error->file .
    ' on line ' . $error->line . "\n";
}

So you make a parser, you feed it the string of stderr output, and it hands you back a lil list of error objects you can loop over. Chef's kiss. 💅

🎀 METHODS 🎀

new(lang => $lang)

Constructor, bestie. It takes an optional lang parameter — that's you saying "hey, I want my error explanations in a language that is NOT the default". And the default is English, obviously. It will try to load POD2::$lang::perldiag. 🌈

parse_string($string)

This one is the main character fr fr. You hand it an error string generated from the perl interpreter, and it attempts to parse it into a list of Parse::ErrorString::Perl::ErrorItem objects — each one giving you info for one single error. 🍓

Heads up: it attempts to parse. That's the module's own wording, so don't @ me if it's not a 100% flawless slay every time. 😭
