CPANPLUS::Backend::RV(3pm)
NAME
CPANPLUS::Backend::RV
SYNOPSIS
### create a CPANPLUS::Backend::RV object
$backend_rv = CPANPLUS::Backend::RV->new(
ok => $boolean,
args => $args,
rv => $return_value
function => $calling_function );
### if you have a CPANPLUS::Backend::RV object
$passed_args = $backend_rv->args; # args passed to function
$ok = $backend_rv->ok; # boolean indication overall
# result of the call
$function = $backend_rv->fucntion # name of the calling
# function
$rv = $backend_rv->rv # the actual return value
# 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.
