Here's an example of what I need:
./pages/autohandler
<%init>
$m->notes('msg') = new UI::Msg;
my $msg = $m->notes('msg');
</%init>
Now any where in the request, as far as mason components go, I can use
$msg->err("This is an error");
BUT...suppose there is a mason component that uses a DB object:
./parts/form
<%once>
use DB::Contacts;
</%once>
<%init>
my $customer = DB::Contacts->search_where({ 'email' => $ARGS{'email'}
}); #could be "bad email address"
...
</%init>
Now I would like the module DB::Contacts to have access to the $msg
object created in the autohandler.
So within it, if it receives an invalid "email", it could return
undef, and add an error:
package DB::Contacts;
....
sub search_where {
my $self = shift;
my $param = $_[0]->{'email'};
$msg->err("Invalid email.") unless $param m/\@/; #no "@" is invalid
(stupid I know)
}
...
1;
Is this possible to have perl libraries access the $msg object defined
inside a mason autohandler? And not be shared or live beyond the
current request?
