NAME

Exception::Delayed - Execute code and throw exceptions later

VERSION

version 0.002

SYNOPSIS

my $x = Exception::Delayed->wantscalar(sub {
    ...
    die "meh";
    ...
}); # code is immediately executed

my $y = $x->result; # dies with "meh"

DESCRIPTION

This module is useful whenever an exception should be thrown at a later moment, without using Try::Tiny or similiar.

Since the context cannot be guessed, this module provides two entry-points: "wantscalar" and "wantlist".

METHODS

wantscalar

my $x = Exception::Delayed->wantscalar($coderef, @arguments)->result;
# same as:
my $x = scalar $coderef->(@arguments);

Execute code in a scalar context. If an exception is thrown, it will be catched and stored, but not thrown (yet).

wantlist

my @x = Exception::Delayed->wantscalar($coderef, @arguments)->result;
# same as:
my @x = $coderef->(@arguments);

Execute code in a list context. If an exception is thrown, it will be catched and stored, but not thrown (yet).

wantany

sub xxx {
    my $x = Exception::Delayed->wantany(wantarray, $coderef, @arguments);
    retrun $x->result;
}

Execute code in a list context or in a scalar context, depending on the first parameter, which should be the return value of wantarray().

result

Return the result of the executed code. Or dies, if there was any exception.
