=head1 NAME
Rose::Class - A very simple class base class.
=head1 SYNOPSIS
package MyClass;
use Rose::Class;
our @ISA = qw(Rose::Class);
sub foo { ... }
...
MyClass->foo(...) or die MyClass->error;
...
=head1 DESCRIPTION
L<Rose::Class> is a generic base class for classes. It provides a
single class method (C<error>), but may be expanded further in the
future.
A class that inherits from L<Rose::Class> is not expected to allow
objects of that class to be instantiated, since the namespace for class
and object methods is shared. For example, it is common for
L<Rose::Object>-derived classes to have C<error> methods, but this would
conflict with the L<Rose::Class> method of the same name.
=head1 CLASS METHODS
=over 4
=item B<error [ERROR]>
Get or set the class-wide error. By convention, this should be a scalar
that stringifies to an error message. A simple scalar containing a
string is the most commonly used value.
