NAME Object::Deadly - An object that dies whenever examined VERSION Version 0.03 SYNOPSIS This object is meant to be used in testing. All possible overloading and method calls die. You can pass this object into methods which are not supposed to accidentally trigger any potentially overloading. use Object::Deadly; my $foo = Object::Deadly->new; print $foo; # dies METHODS "Object::Deadly-"new()> "Object::Deadly-"new( MESSAGE )> The class method "Object::Deadly-"new> returns an "Object::Deadly" object. Dies with a stack trace and a message when evaluated in any context. The default message contains a stack trace from where the object is created. PRIVATE FUNCTIONS The following functions are all private and not meant for public consumption. "_death( $obj )" "$obj-"DESTROY> The DESTROY method doesn't die. This is defined so it won't be AUTOLOADed or fetched from UNIVERSAL. "$obj-"AUTOLOAD> "$obj-"UNIVERSAL::*> Each of AUTOLOAD and all functions available through UNIVERSAL are all defined so they won't be looked up in the UNIVERSAL package.
