# Net::DBus::Binding::Message::Error(3pm)

a message encoding a method call error

## NAME

Net::DBus::Binding::Message::Error - a message encoding a method call error

## SYNOPSIS

```
  use Net::DBus::Binding::Message::Error;
  my $error = Net::DBus::Binding::Message::Error->new(
      replyto => $method_call,
      name => "org.example.myobject.FooException",
      description => "Unable to do Foo when updating bar");
  $connection->send($error);
```

## DESCRIPTION

This module is part of the low-level DBus binding APIs, and should not be used by application code. No guarantees are made about APIs under the `"Net::DBus::Binding::"` namespace being stable across releases.

This module provides a convenience constructor for creating a message representing an error condition.

## METHODS

- my $error = Net::DBus::Binding::Message::Error-\>new( replyto =\> $method\_call, name =\> $name, description =\> $description);

  Creates a new message, representing an error which occurred during the handling of the method call object passed in as the `"replyto"` parameter. The `"name"` parameter is the formal name of the error condition, while the `"description"` is a short piece of text giving more specific information on the error.

- my $name = $error-\>get\_error\_name

  Returns the formal name of the error, as previously passed in via the `"name"` parameter in the constructor.
