# autodie::skip(3p)

Skip a package when throwing autodie exceptions

## NAME

autodie::skip - Skip a package when throwing autodie exceptions

## SYNPOSIS

```
    use parent qw(autodie::skip);
```

## DESCRIPTION

This dummy class exists to signal that the class inheriting it should be skipped when reporting exceptions from autodie.  This is useful for utility classes like Path::Tiny that wish to report the location of where they were called on failure.

If your class has a better way of doing roles, then you should not load this class and instead simply say that your class *DOES* `"autodie::skip"` instead.
