Class::ErrorHandler - Base class for error handling

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    package Foo;
    use base qw( Class::ErrorHandler );

    sub class_method {
        my $class = shift;
        ...
        return $class->error("Help!")
            unless $continue;
    }

    sub object_method {
        my $obj = shift;
        ...
        return $obj->error("I am no more")
            unless $continue;
    }

    package main;
    use Foo;

    Foo->class_method or die Foo->errstr;

    my $foo = Foo->new;
    $foo->object_method or die $foo->errstr;

=head1 DESCRIPTION

I<Class::ErrorHandler> provides an error-handling mechanism that's generic
enough to be used as the base class for a variety of OO classes. Subclasses
inherit its two error-handling methods, I<error> and I<errstr>, to
communicate error messages back to the calling program.

On failure (for whatever reason), a subclass should call I<error> and return
to the caller; I<error> itself sets the error message internally, then
returns C<undef>. This has the effect of the method that failed returning
C<undef> to the caller. The caller should check for errors by checking for a
return value of C<undef>, and calling I<errstr> to get the value of the
error message on an error.

As demonstrated in the L<SYNOPSIS>, I<error> and I<errstr> work as both class
methods and object methods.

=head1 USAGE

=head2 Class->error($message)

=head2 $object->error($message)

Sets the error message for either the class I<Class> or the object
I<$object> to the message I<$message>. Returns C<undef>.

=head2 Class->errstr

=head2 $object->errstr

Accesses the last error message set in the class I<Class> or the
object I<$object>, respectively, and returns that error message.
