File::Data 1.12

File::Data is a Perl module as a interface to file data. Wraps all the accessing of a file into a convenient set of calls for reading and writing data, including a simple regex interface. Note that the file needs to exist prior to using this module! See new() SYNOPSIS use strict; use File::Data; my $o_dat = File::Data->new(./t/example); $o_dat->write("complete file contentsn"); $o_dat->prepend("first linen"); # line 0 $o_dat->append("original second (last) linen"); $o_dat->insert(2, "new second linen"); # inc. zero! $o_dat->replace(line, LINE); print $o_dat->READ; Or, perhaps more seriously :-} my $o_sgm = File::Data->new(./sgmlfile); print "new SGML data: ".$o_sgm->REPLACE( s*((?s).*)s* , qq| key="val" |, ) if $o_sgm; See METHODS and EXAMPLES. IMPORTANT lowercase method calls return the object itself, so you can chain calls. my $o_obj = $o_dat->read; # ! <= object ! UPPERCASE method calls return the data relevant to the operation. my @data = $o_dat->READ; # ! <= data ! While this may occasionally be frustrating, using the principle of least surprise, it is at least consistent..
