NAME

Object::Deadly - An object that dies whenever examined

VERSION

Version 0.04

SYNOPSIS

This object is meant to be used in testing. All possible overloading and method calls die. You can pass this object into methods which are not supposed to accidentally trigger any potentially overloading.

use Object::Deadly;

my $foo = Object::Deadly->new;
print $foo; # dies

METHODS

Object::Deadly->new()
Object::Deadly->new( MESSAGE )

The class method Object::Deadly->new returns an Object::Deadly object. Dies with a stack trace and a message when evaluated in any context. The default message contains a stack trace from where the object is created.

PRIVATE FUNCTIONS

The following functions are all private and not meant for public consumption.

_death( $obj )
$obj->DESTROY

The DESTROY method doesn't die. This is defined so it won't be AUTOLOADed or fetched from UNIVERSAL.

$obj->AUTOLOAD
$obj->UNIVERSAL::*

Each of AUTOLOAD and all functions available through UNIVERSAL are all defined so they won't be looked up in the UNIVERSAL package.
