Xapian::Error - Base class for all exceptions in Xapian
This is an abstract class in C++, i.e. it cannot be instantiated directly, hence in Perl it has no new
method.
Search::Xapian overloads <""> (stringification) on this class for compatibility with Search::Xapian < 1.2.3 which threw string exceptions in certain cases. 1.2.3 was released in 2010, so you can safely assume that all exceptions from Search::Xapian are objects now.
All exception objects have the following methods
Returns a string with a descriptive error message, useful for outputting
The type of this error (e.g. "DocNotFoundError").
Optional context information, returned as a string
Returns any error string from errno or similar associated with this error
