Release of version 0.05 of Coy
==============================================================================
DESCRIPTION
Error messages
strewn across my terminal.
A vein starts to throb.
Their reproof adds the
injury of insult to
the shame of failure.
When a program dies
what you need is a moment
of serenity.
The Coy.pm
module brings tranquillity
to your debugging.
The module alters
the behaviour of C<die> and
C<warn> (and C<croak> and C<carp>).
It also provides
C<transcend> and C<enlighten> -- two
Zen alternatives.
Like Carp.pm,
Coy reports errors from the
caller's point-of-view.
But it prefaces
the bad news of failure with
a soothing haiku.
The haiku are not
"canned", but are generated
freshly every time.
Once the haiku is
complete, it's prepended to
the error message.
Execution of
the original call to
C<die> or C<warn> resumes.
Haiku and error
message strew across my screen.
A smile starts to form.
