Text::Refer 1.106

Text::Refer can parse Unix "refer" files. SYNOPSIS Pull in the module: use Text::Refer; Parse a refer stream from a filehandle: while ($ref = input Text::Refer *FH) { # ...do stuff with $ref... } defined($ref) or die "error parsing input"; Same, but using a parser object for more control: # Create a new parser: $parser = new Text::Refer::Parser LeadWhite=>KEEP; # Parse: while ($ref = $parser->input(*FH)) { # ...do stuff with $ref... } defined($ref) or die "error parsing input"; Manipulating reference objects, using high-level methods: # Get the title, author, etc.: $title = $ref->title; @authors = $ref->author; # list context $lastAuthor = $ref->author; # scalar context # Set the title and authors: $ref->title("Cyberiad"); $ref->author(["S. Trurl", "C. Klapaucius"]); # arrayref for >1 value! # Delete the abstract: $ref->abstract(undef); Same, using low-level methods: # Get the title, author, etc.: $title = $ref->get(T); @authors = $ref->get(A); # list context $lastAuthor = $ref->get(A); # scalar context # Set the title and authors: $ref->set(T, "Cyberiad"); $ref->set(A, "S. Trurl", "C. Klapaucius"); # Delete the abstract: $ref->set(X); # sets to empty array of values Output: print $ref->as_string;.
