Data::PropertyList 1998.1217

Data::PropertyList is a Perl module that can convert arbitrary objects to/from strings. SYNOPSIS use Data::PropertyList qw(astext fromtext); $hash_ref = { items => [ 7 .. 11 ], key => value }; $string = astext($hash_ref); # ... $hash_ref = fromtext($string); print $hash_ref->{items}[0]; $array_ref = [ 1, { key => value }, Omega ]; $string = astext($array_ref); # ... $array_ref = fromtext($string, -array=>1 ); print $array_ref->[1]{key}; Data::Propertylist provides functions that turn data structures with nested references into NeXTs Property List text format and back again. You may find this useful for saving and loading application information in text files, or perhaps for generating error messages while debugging. astext( $reference ) : $propertylist_string; Writes out a nested Perl data structure in NeXT property list format. fromtext( $propertylist_string ) : $hash_ref fromtext( $propertylist_string, -array=>1 ) : $array_ref Reconstructs a Perl data structure of nested references and scalars from a NeXT property list. Use the -array flag if the string encodes an array rather than a hash..
