Zonema...ception(3pm)

💖 NAME 💖

Zonemaster::Exception — bestie, it's the base class for Zonemaster exceptions 🎀

Like, every other exception in the Zonemaster fam inherits its whole vibe from this one. It's the mother of all oopsies. The blueprint. The blueprint of "something went wrong bestie" 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

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

That's it. That's the whole thing. You just die with a new exception object and pass it a message in a hashref, and boom 💥 you're throwing an exception like a main character.

🦋 ATTRIBUTES 🦋

• message — a string attribute, babes. It holds a message for possible human consumption 👀 like it's literally a note to whoever's reading the error later. Feed it words, it holds the words. That's the whole job. Slay.

🌸 METHODS 🌸

• string() — this one stringifies the object by handing you back the message attribute. And here's the tea: stringification is overloaded to this ✨ so when Perl needs to turn your exception into a string, it doesn't fumble — it just calls this and gives you the message. No cap, it just works 💅

fr fr, that's the entire module. Small, iconic, does exactly one thing and does it well 🫶

Okay so the ~vibes~ on this one: it's from the User Contributed Perl Documentation, living in the 3pm section, shipped with perl v5.32.0, and this particular page is dated 2021-01-06 💜

Zonemaster::Exception — periodt. 💖✨🎀
