NAME

Parse::ErrorString::Perl - Parse error messages from the perl interpreter

SYNOPSIS

    use Parse::ErrorString::Perl;

    my $parser = Parse::ErrorString::Perl->new;
    # or: my $parser = Parse::ErrorString::Perl->new(lang => 'FR')
    # to get localized explanations
    my @errors = $parser->parse_string($string_containing_stderr_output);

    foreach my $error(@errors) {
    print 'Captured error message "' .
        $error->message .
        '" in file ' . $error->file .
        ' on line ' . $error->line . "\n";
    }

METHODS

new(lang => $lang): Constructor. Receives an optional "lang" parameter, specifying that error explanations need to be delivered in a language different from the default (i.e. English). Will try to load "POD2::$lang::perldiag".
parse_string($string): Receives an error string generated from the perl interpreter and attempts to parse it into a list of "Parse::ErrorString::Perl::ErrorItem" objects providing information for each error.
