=head1 ERROR HANDLING

=over 4

By default, when `aws-cli` exits with an error code (> 0), AWS::CLIWrapper will set
the error code and message to $AWS::CLIWrapper::Error (and optionally croak), thus
relaying the error to calling code. While this approach is beneficial 99% of the time,
in some use cases `aws-cli` execution fails for a temporary reason unrelated to
both calling code and AWS::CLIWrapper, and can be safely retried after a short delay.

One of this use cases is executing `aws-cli` on AWS EC2 instances, where `aws-cli`
retrieves its configuration and credentials from the API exposed to the EC2 instance;
at certain times these credentials may be rotated and calling `aws-cli` at exactly
the right moment will cause it to fail with `Unable to locate credentials` error.

To prevent this kind of errors from failing the calling code, AWS::CLIWrapper allows
configuring an RegExp pattern and retry `aws-cli` execution if it fails with an error
matching the configured pattern.

The error catching pattern, as well as other configuration, can be defined either
as AWS::CLIWrapper options in the code, or as respective environment variables
(see L<ENVIRONMENT>).

The actual delay before retrying a failed `aws-cli` execution is computed as a
random value of seconds between catch_error_min_delay (default 3) and catch_error_max_delay
(default 10). Backoff is not supported at this moment.
