# Perl::Critic::Exception::Configuration::Option(3pm)

A problem with an option in the Perl::Critic configuration.

## NAME

Perl::Critic::Exception::Configuration::Option - A problem with an option in the Perl::Critic configuration.

## DESCRIPTION

A representation of a problem found with an option in the configuration of Perl::Critic, whether from a *.perlcriticrc*, another profile file, or command line.

This is an abstract class.  It should never be instantiated.

## INTERFACE SUPPORT

This is considered to be a public class.  Any changes to its interface will go through a deprecation cycle.

## METHODS

- option\_name()

  The name of the option that was found to be in error.

- option\_value()

  The value of the option that was found to be in error.

- message\_suffix()

  Any text that should be applied to end of the standard message for this kind of exception.

- message()

  - error()

  Overridden to call `full_message()`.  I.e. any message string in the superclass is ignored.

- full\_message()

  Overridden to turn it into an abstract method to force subclasses to implement it.
