## NAME
    [autodie::skip](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/autodie%3A%3Askip/markdown) - Skip a package when throwing autodie exceptions

## SYNPOSIS
        use parent qw([autodie::skip](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/autodie%3A%3Askip/markdown));

## DESCRIPTION
    This dummy class exists to signal that the class inheriting it should be skipped when reporting
    exceptions from autodie. This is useful for utility classes like [Path::Tiny](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/Path%3A%3ATiny/markdown) that wish to report
    the location of where they were called on failure.

    If your class has a better way of doing roles, then you should not load this class and instead
    simply say that your class *DOES* "[autodie::skip](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/autodie%3A%3Askip/markdown)" instead.
