.SH SYNOPSIS
.IX Header "SYNOPSIS"
.Vb 2

.SH DESCRIPTION
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
This module provides a simple wrapper around a raw Perl value,
associating an explicit DBus type with the value. This is used
in cases where a client is communicating with a server which does
not provide introspection data, but for which the basic data types
are not sufficient. This class should not be used directly, rather
the convenience functions in Net::DBus be called.
.SH METHODS
.IX Header "METHODS"
.ie n .IP "my $value = Net::DBus::Binding::Value\->new($type, $value);" 4
.el .IP "my \f(CW$value\fR = Net::DBus::Binding::Value\->new($type, \f(CW$value\fR);" 4
.IX Item "my $value = Net::DBus::Binding::Value->new($type, $value);"
Creates a wrapper for the perl value \f(CW$value\fR marking it as having
the dbus data type \f(CW$type\fR. It is not necessary to call this method
directly, instead the data typing methods in the Net::DBus object
should be used.
.ie n .IP "my $raw = $value\->value" 4
.el .IP "my \f(CW$raw\fR = \f(CW$value\fR\->value" 4
.IX Item "my $raw = $value->value"
Returns the raw perl value wrapped by this object
.ie n .IP "my $type = $value\->type" 4
.el .IP "my \f(CW$type\fR = \f(CW$value\fR\->type" 4
.IX Item "my $type = $value->type"
Returns the dbus data type this value is marked
as having
