code¶

 my $code = $client->code;

Integer code for the message. These can be categorized thus:

1xx

Positive preliminary reply

2xx

Positive completion reply

3xx

Positive intermediate reply

4xx

Transient negative reply

5xx

Permanent negative reply

Generally "4xx" and "5xx" messages are errors, where as "1xx", "3xx" are various states of (at least so far) successful operations. "2xx" indicates a completely successful operation.

message¶

 my $message = $res->message;

The human readable message returned from the server. This is always a list reference, even if the server only returned one line.

is_success¶

 my $bool = $res->is_success;

True if the response does not represent an error condition (codes "1xx", "2xx" or "3xx").

is_preliminary¶

 my $bool = $res->is_preliminary;

True if the response is a preliminary positive reply (code "1xx").

as_string¶

 my $str = $res->as_string;
 my $str = "$res";

Returns a string representation of the response. This may not be exactly what was returned by the server, but will include the code and at least part of the message in a human readable format.

You can also get this string by treating objects of this class as a string (using it in a double quoted string, or by using string operators):

 print "$res";

is the same as

 print $res->as_string;
