Zonema...ception(3pm)

💖 Zonemaster::Engine::Exception — the manual page, but make it cute 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to Zonemaster::Engine::Exception(3pm) 💅 — this is User Contributed Perl Documentation, section 3pm, and it's the base class for Zonemaster::Engine exceptions. like, the origin story. the blueprint. the mother of all the little exception girls that come after her. 👑

---

✨ NAME ✨

Zonemaster::Engine::Exception — bestie it is literally the base class for Zonemaster::Engine exceptions. everything else in that family inherits her vibe. periodt. 💖

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

the way you deploy her?? one line. one iconic line:

die Zonemaster::Engine::Exception->new({ message => "This is an exception" });

like. die, ->new, a hashref with a message, and boom — you have thrown an exception with main character energy. that's it. that's the whole move. 🎀

---

🦋 ATTRIBUTES 🦋

• message — a string attribute holding a message for possible human consumption. 💬 basically it's the little note she carries around so an actual human can read it and go "oh. that's why everything broke." ngl very considerate of her. possible is doing a lot of heavy lifting there, so don't assume it's always for your eyes, iykyk. 🙈

---

⭐ METHODS ⭐

• string() — method that stringifies the object by returning the message attribute. and listen: stringification is overloaded to this. so when you just casually drop the object into a string context, she doesn't give you some cursed Zonemaster::Engine::Exception=HASH(0x...) nonsense — she gives you her message, because she knows what you actually wanted. she ate. 🫶

fr fr, that overload is the whole point — printed exception == the message you handed her. no cap. 💯

---

and that's the page, bestie!! go forth and die responsibly 💀 🎀
