I've looked at your code. My recommendation would be to replace things like this:

carp "xyz"; return;

With this:

return $self->log_error("xyz");

And then define this method:

sub log_error { carp $_[1]; return; }

Then anybody who needs different error handling can subclass your class.

use Subclass::Of "WebService::Discord::Webhook", -as => "MyWebhook", -methods => [ error_log => sub { my ($self, $message) = @_; # alternative error handling here }, ]; ...; my $webhook = MyWebhook->new(...);

If you have different severities of error message, you may wish to provide multiple methods like log_unrecoverable_error and log_recoverable_error. Whatever makes sense to you.

Document these methods, how and when they will be called, etc. This way, people subclassing your module will know that they're not some kind of internal thing that might disappear in the next release, but are a supported part of the API.

to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
