package autodie; use 5.008; use strict; use warnings; use parent qw(Fatal); our $VERSION; # ABSTRACT: Replace functions with ones that succeed or die with lexical scope BEGIN { our $VERSION = '2.37'; # VERSION: Generated by DZP::OurPkg::Version } use constant ERROR_WRONG_FATAL => q{ Incorrect version of Fatal.pm loaded by autodie. The autodie pragma uses an updated version of Fatal to do its heavy lifting. We seem to have loaded Fatal version %s, which is probably the version that came with your version of Perl. However autodie needs version %s, which would have come bundled with autodie. You may be able to solve this problem by adding the following line of code to your main program, before any use of Fatal or autodie. use lib "%s"; }; # We have to check we've got the right version of Fatal before we # try to compile the rest of our code, lest we use a constant # that doesn't exist. BEGIN { # If we have the wrong Fatal, then we've probably loaded the system # one, not our own. Complain, and give a useful hint. ;) if (defined($Fatal::VERSION) and defined($VERSION) and $Fatal::VERSION ne $VERSION) { my $autodie_path = $INC{'autodie.pm'}; $autodie_path =~ s/autodie\.pm//; require Carp; Carp::croak sprintf( ERROR_WRONG_FATAL, $Fatal::VERSION, $VERSION, $autodie_path ); } } # When passing args to Fatal we want to keep the first arg # (our package) in place. Hence the splice. sub import { splice(@_,1,0,Fatal::LEXICAL_TAG); goto &Fatal::import; } sub unimport { splice(@_,1,0,Fatal::LEXICAL_TAG); goto &Fatal::unimport; } 1; __END__ =head1 NAME autodie - Replace functions with ones that succeed or die with lexical scope =head1 SYNOPSIS use autodie; # Recommended: implies 'use autodie qw(:default)' use autodie qw(:all); # Recommended more: defaults and system/exec. use autodie qw(open close); # open/close succeed or die open(my $fh, "<", $filename); # No need to check! { no autodie qw(open); # open failures won't die open(my $fh, "<", $filename); # Could fail silently! no autodie; # disable all autodies } print "Hello World" or die $!; # autodie DOESN'T check print! =head1 DESCRIPTION bIlujDI' yIchegh()Qo'; yIHegh()! It is better to die() than to return() in failure. -- Klingon programming proverb. The C<autodie> pragma provides a convenient way to replace functions that normally return false on failure with equivalents that throw an exception on failure. The C<autodie> pragma has I<lexical scope>, meaning that functions and subroutines altered with C<autodie> will only change their behaviour until the end of the enclosing block, file, or C<eval>. If C<system> is specified as an argument to C<autodie>, then it uses L<IPC::System::Simple> to do the heavy lifting. See the description of that module for more information. =head1 EXCEPTIONS Exceptions produced by the C<autodie> pragma are members of the L<autodie::exception> class. The preferred way to work with these exceptions under Perl 5.10 is as follows: eval { use autodie; open(my $fh, '<', $some_file); my @records = <$fh>; # Do things with @records... close($fh); }; if ($@ and $@->isa('autodie::exception')) { if ($@->matches('open')) { print "Error from open\n"; } if ($@->matches(':io' )) { print "Non-open, IO error."; } } elsif ($@) { # A non-autodie exception. } See L<autodie::exception> for further information on interrogating exceptions. =head1 CATEGORIES Autodie uses a simple set of categories to group together similar built-ins. Requesting a category type (starting with a colon) will enable autodie for all built-ins beneath that category. For example, requesting C<:file> will enable autodie for C<close>, C<fcntl>, C<open> and C<sysopen>. The categories are currently: :all :default :io read seek sysread sysseek syswrite :dbm dbmclose dbmopen :file binmode close chmod chown fcntl flock ioctl open sysopen truncate :filesys chdir closedir opendir link mkdir readlink rename rmdir symlink unlink :ipc kill pipe :msg msgctl msgget msgrcv msgsnd :semaphore semctl semget semop :shm shmctl shmget shmread :socket accept bind connect getsockopt listen recv send setsockopt shutdown socketpair :threads fork :system system exec Note that while the above category system is presently a strict hierarchy, this should not be assumed. A plain C<use autodie> implies C<use autodie qw(:default)>. Note that C<system> and C<exec> are not enabled by default. C<system> requires the optional L<IPC::System::Simple> module to be installed, and enabling C<system> or C<exec> will invalidate their exotic forms. See L</BUGS> below for more details. The syntax: use autodie qw(:1.994); allows the C<:default> list from a particular version to be used. This provides the convenience of using the default methods, but the surety that no behavioral changes will occur if the C<autodie> module is upgraded. C<autodie> can be enabled for all of Perl's built-ins, including C<system> and C<exec> with: use autodie qw(:all); =head1 FUNCTION SPECIFIC NOTES =head2 print The autodie pragma B<does not check calls to C<print>Z<>>. =head2 flock It is not considered an error for C<flock> to return false if it fails due to an C<EWOULDBLOCK> (or equivalent) condition. This means one can still use the common convention of testing the return value of C<flock> when called with the C<LOCK_NB> option: use autodie; if ( flock($fh, LOCK_EX | LOCK_NB) ) { # We have a lock } Autodying C<flock> will generate an exception if C<flock> returns false with any other error. =head2 system/exec The C<system> built-in is considered to have failed in the following circumstances: =over 4 =item * The command does not start. =item * The command is killed by a signal. =item * The command returns a non-zero exit value (but see below). =back On success, the autodying form of C<system> returns the I<exit value> rather than the contents of C<$?>. Additional allowable exit values can be supplied as an optional first argument to autodying C<system>: system( [ 0, 1, 2 ], $cmd, @args); # 0,1,2 are good exit values C<autodie> uses the L<IPC::System::Simple> module to change C<system>. See its documentation for further information. Applying C<autodie> to C<system> or C<exec> causes the exotic forms C<system { $cmd } @args > or C<exec { $cmd } @args> to be considered a syntax error until the end of the lexical scope. If you really need to use the exotic form, you can call C<CORE::system> or C<CORE::exec> instead, or use C<no autodie qw(system exec)> before calling the exotic form. =head1 GOTCHAS Functions called in list context are assumed to have failed if they return an empty list, or a list consisting only of a single undef element. Some builtins (e.g. C<chdir> or C<truncate>) has a call signature that cannot completely be represented with a Perl prototype. This means that some valid Perl code will be invalid under autodie. As an example: chdir(BAREWORD); Without autodie (and assuming BAREWORD is an open filehandle/dirhandle) this is a valid call to chdir. But under autodie, C<chdir> will behave like it had the prototype ";$" and thus BAREWORD will be a syntax error (under "use strict". Without strict, it will interpreted as a filename). =head1 DIAGNOSTICS =over 4 =item :void cannot be used with lexical scope The C<:void> option is supported in L<Fatal>, but not C<autodie>. To workaround this, C<autodie> may be explicitly disabled until the end of the current block with C<no autodie>. To disable autodie for only a single function (eg, open) use C<no autodie qw(open)>. C<autodie> performs no checking of called context to determine whether to throw an exception; the explicitness of error handling with C<autodie> is a deliberate feature. =item No user hints defined for %s You've insisted on hints for user-subroutines, either by pre-pending a C<!> to the subroutine name itself, or earlier in the list of arguments to C<autodie>. However the subroutine in question does not have any hints available. =back See also L<Fatal/DIAGNOSTICS>. =head1 Tips and Tricks =head2 Importing autodie into another namespace than "caller" It is possible to import autodie into a different namespace by using L<Import::Into>. However, you have to pass a "caller depth" (rather than a package name) for this to work correctly. =head1 BUGS "Used only once" warnings can be generated when C<autodie> or C<Fatal> is used with package filehandles (eg, C<FILE>). Scalar filehandles are strongly recommended instead. When using C<autodie> or C<Fatal> with user subroutines, the declaration of those subroutines must appear before the first use of C<Fatal> or C<autodie>, or have been exported from a module. Attempting to use C<Fatal> or C<autodie> on other user subroutines will result in a compile-time error. Due to a bug in Perl, C<autodie> may "lose" any format which has the same name as an autodying built-in or function. C<autodie> may not work correctly if used inside a file with a name that looks like a string eval, such as F<eval (3)>. =head2 autodie and string eval Due to the current implementation of C<autodie>, unexpected results may be seen when used near or with the string version of eval. I<None of these bugs exist when using block eval>. Under Perl 5.8 only, C<autodie> I<does not> propagate into string C<eval> statements, although it can be explicitly enabled inside a string C<eval>. Under Perl 5.10 only, using a string eval when C<autodie> is in effect can cause the autodie behaviour to leak into the surrounding scope. This can be worked around by using a C<no autodie> at the end of the scope to explicitly remove autodie's effects, or by avoiding the use of string eval. I<None of these bugs exist when using block eval>. The use of C<autodie> with block eval is considered good practice. =head2 REPORTING BUGS Please report bugs via the GitHub Issue Tracker at L<https://github.com/pjf/autodie/issues>. =head1 FEEDBACK If you find this module useful, please consider rating it on metacpan at L<https://metacpan.org/pod/autodie> .
