FUNCTIONS

parse_fire_diamond_text_notation

Usage:

parse_fire_diamond_text_notation(%args) -> [$status_code, $reason, $payload, \%result_meta]

Parse Fire Diamond (NFPA 704) text notation.

Examples:

  • Parse the fire diamond for citric acid:

    parse_fire_diamond_text_notation(notation => "H2/F1/R0/");

    Result:

    [
  200,
  "OK (parsed)",
  {
    fire_hazard_meaning   => "above 93 \xC2\xB0C",
    fire_hazard_number    => 1,
    health_hazard_meaning => "hazardous",
    health_hazard_number  => 2,
    reactivity_meaning    => "stable",
    reactivity_number     => 0,
  },
  {
    "func.fire_hazard_explanation"   => "Materials that require considerable preheating, under all ambient temperature conditions, before ignition and combustion can occur (e.g. mineral oil, ammonia, ethylene glycol). Includes some finely divided suspended solids that do not require heating before ignition can occur. Flash point at or above 93.3 \xC2\xB0C (200 \xC2\xB0F).",
    "func.health_hazard_explanation" => "Intense or continued but not chronic exposure could cause temporary incapacitation or possible residual injury (e.g. diethyl ether, ammonium phosphate, carbon dioxide, chloroform, DEET).",
    "func.reactivity_explanation"    => "Normally stable, even under fire exposure conditions, and is not reactive with water (e.g. helium, N2, carbon dioxide)",
  },
]

  • Parse the fire diamond for sucrose:

    parse_fire_diamond_text_notation(notation => "H0/F1/R0/");

    Result:

    [
  200,
  "OK (parsed)",
  {
    fire_hazard_meaning   => "above 93 \xC2\xB0C",
    fire_hazard_number    => 1,
    health_hazard_meaning => "normal material",
    health_hazard_number  => 0,

    "func.fire_hazard_explanation"   => "Materials that require considerable preheating, under all ambient temperature conditions, before ignition and combustion can occur (e.g. mineral oil, ammonia, ethylene glycol). Includes some finely divided suspended solids that do not require heating before ignition can occur. Flash point at or above 93.3 \xC2\xB0C (200 \xC2\xB0F).",
    "func.health_hazard_explanation" => "Poses no health hazard, no precautions necessary and would offer no hazard beyond that of ordinary combustible materials (e.g. wood, sugar, salt, propylene glycol)",
    "func.reactivity_explanation"    => "Normally stable, even under fire exposure conditions, and is not reactive with water (e.g. helium, N2, carbon dioxide)",
  },
]

  • Parse the fire diamond for sulfuric acid:

    parse_fire_diamond_text_notation(notation => "H3/F0/R2/W+OX");

    Result:

    [
  200,
  "OK (parsed)",
  {
    fire_hazard_meaning   => "not flammable",
    fire_hazard_number    => 0,
    health_hazard_meaning => "extreme danger",

This function is not exported by default, but exportable.

Arguments ('*' denotes required arguments):

  • notation* => str

    (No description)

Returns an enveloped result (an array).

First element ($status_code) is an integer containing HTTP-like status code (200 means OK, 4xx caller error, 5xx function error). Second element ($reason) is a string containing error message, or something like "OK" if status is 200. Third element ($payload) is the actual result, but usually not present when enveloped result is an error response ($status_code is not 2xx). Fourth element (%result_meta) is called result metadata and is optional, a hash that contains extra information, much like how HTTP response headers provide additional metadata.

Return value: (any)

CONTRIBUTING

To contribute, you can send patches by email/via RT, or send pull requests on GitHub.

Most of the time, you don't need to build the distribution yourself. You can simply modify the code, then test via:

% prove -l

If you want to build the distribution (e.g. to try to install it locally on your system), you can install Dist::Zilla, Dist::Zilla::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, Pod::Weaver::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, and sometimes one or two other Dist::Zilla- and/or Pod::Weaver plugins. Any additional steps required beyond that are considered a bug and can be reported to me.

BUGS

Please report any bugs or feature requests on the bugtracker website https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Dist/Display.html?Name=Parse-FireDiamond

When submitting a bug or request, please include a test-file or a patch to an existing test-file that illustrates the bug or desired feature.
