CPANPLUS::Backend::RV

NAME

CPANPLUS::Backend::RV

SYNOPSIS

  1.     ### create a CPANPLUS::Backend::RV object
  2.     $backend_rv     = CPANPLUS::Backend::RV->new(
  3.                                 ok          => $boolean,
  4.                                 args        => $args,
  5.                                 rv          => $return_value
  6.                                 function    => $calling_function );
  8.     ### if you have a CPANPLUS::Backend::RV object
  9.     $passed_args    = $backend_rv->args;    # args passed to function
  10.     $ok             = $backend_rv->ok;      # boolean indication overall
  11.                                             # result of the call
  12.     $function       = $backend_rv->fucntion # name of the calling
  13.                                             # function
  14.     $rv             = $backend_rv->rv       # the actual return value
  15.                                             # of the calling function

DESCRIPTION

This module provides return value objects for multi-module calls to CPANPLUS::Backend. In boolean context, it returns the status of the overall result (ie, the same as the ok method would).

METHODS

new( ok => BOOL, args => DATA, rv => DATA, [function => $method_name] )

Creates a new CPANPLUS::Backend::RV object from the data provided. This method should only be called by CPANPLUS::Backend functions. The accessors may be used by users inspecting an RV object.

All the argument names can be used as accessors later to retrieve the data.

Arguments:

  • ok

    Boolean indicating overall success

  • args

    The arguments provided to the function that returned this rv object. Useful to inspect later to see what was actually passed to the function in case of an error.

  • rv

    An arbitrary data structure that has the detailed return values of each of your multi-module calls.

  • function

    The name of the function that created this rv object. Can be explicitly passed. If not, new() will try to deduce the name from caller() information.
