NAME
       Class::AutoClass::Root

SYNOPSIS # Here's how to throw and catch an exception using the eval-based
       syntax.
	 $obj->throw("This is an exception");

	 eval {
	     $obj->throw("This is catching an exception");
	 };

	 if( $@ ) {
	     print "Caught exception";
	 } else {
	     print "no exception";
	 }

DESCRIPTION This class provides some basic functionality for Class::* classes.

       This package is borrowed from bioperl project (http://bioperl.org/).
       Because of the formidable size of the bioperl library, Root.pm is
       included here with modifications.  These modifications were to pare its
       functioanlity down for its simple job here (removing routines that are
       out of context and removing references to bioperl to avoid confusion).

       Functions originally from Steve Chervitz of bioperl. Refactored by Ewan
       Birney of bioperl. Re-refactored by Lincoln Stein of bioperl.

   Throwing Exceptions
       One of the functionalities that Class::AutoClass::Root provides is the
       ability to throw() exceptions with pretty stack traces.

APPENDIX
       The rest of the documentation details each of the object methods.
       Internal methods are usually preceded with a _

   new
	Purpose	  : generic instantiation function can be overridden if
		    special needs of a module cannot be done in _initialize

   verbose
	Title	: verbose
	Usage	: $self->verbose(1)
	Function: Sets verbose level for how ->warn behaves
		  -1 = no warning
		   0 = standard, small warning
		   1 = warning with stack trace
		   2 = warning becomes throw
	Returns : The current verbosity setting (integer between -1 to 2)
	Args	: -1,0,1 or 2

   throw
	Title	: throw
	Usage	: $obj->throw("throwing exception message")
	Function: Throws an exception, which, if not caught with an eval brace
		  will provide a nice stack trace to STDERR with the message
	Returns : nothing
	Args	: A string giving a descriptive error message

   stack_trace
	Title	: stack_trace
	Usage	: @stack_array_ref= $self->stack_trace
	Function: gives an array to a reference of arrays with stack trace info
		  each coming from the caller(stack_number) call
	Returns : array containing a reference of arrays
	Args	: none

   _stack_trace_dump
	Title	: _stack_trace_dump
	Usage	:
	Function:
	Example :
	Returns :
	Args	:

   deprecated
	Title	: deprecated
	Usage	: $obj->deprecated("Method X is deprecated");
	Function: Prints a message about deprecation
		  unless verbose is < 0 (which means be quiet)
	Returns : none
	Args	: Message string to print to STDERR

   warn
	Title	: warn
	Usage	: $object->warn("Warning message");
	Function: Places a warning. What happens now is down to the
		  verbosity of the object  (value of $obj->verbose)
		   verbosity 0 or not set => small warning
		   verbosity -1 => no warning
		   verbosity 1 => warning with stack trace
		   verbosity 2 => converts warnings into throw
	Example :
	Returns :
	Args	:

   debug
	Title	: debug
	Usage	: $obj->debug("This is debugging output");
	Function: Prints a debugging message when verbose is > 0
	Returns : none
	Args	: message string(s) to print to STDERR
