Error::Hierarchy::Container - Container for hierarchical exceptions

=head1 VERSION

version 1.103530

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    my $my_exception = create_some_exception();
    my %exception_args = (foo => 'bar');
    my $uuid1 = gen_some_uuid();
    my $uuid2 = gen_some_uuid();

    my $container = Error::Hierarchy::Container->new;
    $container->items_set_push($my_exception);
    $container->record('Some::Exception', %exception_args);
    $container->delete_by_uuid($uuid1, $uuid2);

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This class implements a container for hierarchical exception objects. It is
effectively a L<Data::Container> but also has the following methods.

=head1 METHODS

=head2 record

Takes an exception class name (a string) and a hash of arguments. First the
exception is constructed with the given arguments, then it is added - using
C<items_set_push()> - to the container. It's really a shortcut that saves you
from having to record the exception and then adding it to the container
yourself.

=head2 delete_by_uuid

Takes a list of uuid values and deletes all those exceptions from the
container whose uuid appears in the given list.

=head2 delete_duplicate_exceptions

Deletes duplicate exceptions. Two exceptions are considered to be the same if
they are of the same class and have the same properties, as defined by the
exception's C<properties_as_hash()> method.

=head2 items_push

Overrides L<Data::Container>'s C<items_push()> method by calling the
C<before_push> trigger before pushing. The list of items to be pushed is
passed to the trigger. One possible use might be to warn if you try to push
any items that are not derived from L<Error::Hierarchy>. The trigger mechanism
is based on L<Class::Trigger>.

=head2 items_set_push

Similar to C<items_push()>.
