NAME

Venus - Standard Library

ABSTRACT

Standard Library for Perl 5

VERSION

4.15

SYNOPSIS

package main;

use Venus 'catch', 'error', 'raise';

# error handling
my ($error, $result) = catch {
  error;
};

# boolean keywords
if ($result) {
  error;
}

# raise exceptions
if ($result) {
  raise 'MyApp::Error';
}

# boolean keywords, and more!
true ne false;

DESCRIPTION

This library provides an object-orientation framework and extendible standard library for Perl 5 with classes which wrap most native Perl data types. Venus has a simple modular architecture, robust library of classes, methods, and roles, supports pure-Perl autoboxing, advanced exception handling, "true" and "false" functions, package introspection, command-line options parsing, and more. This package will always automatically exports true and false keyword functions (unless existing routines of the same name already exist in the calling package or its parents), otherwise exports keyword functions as requested at import. This library requires Perl 5.18+.
