autodie...:system(3pm)

💖 NAME 💖

okay so this is the glow-up manual page for autodie...:system(3pm), and the actual star of the show is autodie::exception::system — Exceptions from autodying system(). no cap, that's the whole name vibe 💅

🌈 SYNOPSIS 🌈

bestie, here's the code moment:

    eval {
        use autodie qw(system);

        system($cmd, @args);

    };

    if (my $E = $@) {
        say "Ooops!  ",$E->caller," had problems: $@";
    }

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

This is an autodie::exception class for failures from the "system" command. lowkey its whole personality is catching those system fails 🫶

Right now there is no way to interrogate an autodie::exception::system object for the command, exit status, and other information you'd expect such an object to hold. The interface will be expanded to accommodate this in the future. so yes, bestie, the future is coming 🌸

🎀 stringify 🎀

When stringified, autodie::exception::system objects currently use the message generated by IPC::System::Simple. that's the whole stringify tea ☕✨
