NAME¶
Boulder::String - Read and write tag/value data from a string.
SYNOPSIS¶
#!/bin/perl
# Read a B<Stone> from stdin and create a string that can be
# passed to a dumb sub, which doesn't know about Stones.
use Boulder::Stream;
use Boulder::String;
my $stream = Boulder::Stream->newFh;
# read a stone from stdin
my $record = <$stream> );
print $stream $record;
}
DESCRIPTION¶
Boulder::String provides access to Boulder IO hierarchical tag/value data. Stone
objects printed to the tied string are appended to the string in Boulder
format.
Boulder::Stream METHODS¶
$stream = Boulder::Stream->new($in_string,\$out_string);¶
The
new() method creates a new
Boulder::String object. You must provide an input string and a
reference to an output string. The input string may be empty.
$stream->write_record($stone)¶
Write the passed stone in Boulder IO format into $out_string.
