NAME
       Rose::Class - A very simple class base class.

SYNOPSIS
	   package MyClass;

	   use Rose::Class;
	   our @ISA = qw(Rose::Class);

	   sub foo { ... }
	   ...

	   MyClass->foo(...) or die MyClass->error;
	   ...

DESCRIPTION
       Rose::Class is a generic base class for classes.  It provides a single class method ("error"), but may be expanded further in the future.

       A class that inherits from 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 Rose::Object-derived classes to have "error" methods, but this would conflict with
       the Rose::Class method of the same name.

CLASS METHODS
       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.
