NAME

DTA::TokWrap::Base - DTA tokenizer wrappers: base class

SYNOPSIS

            

              
              
use DTA::TokWrap::Base;
##========================================================================
## Constructors etc.
$obj = $CLASS_OR_OBJ->new(%args);        ##-- inheritable constructor
%defaults = $CLASS_OR_OBJ->defaults();   ##-- set static defaults
$obj = $obj->init();                     ##-- set dynamic defaults
            
          

DESCRIPTION

DTA::TokWrap::Base provides an abstract base class for all object classes in the DTA::TokWrap distribution

Constants

Variable: @ISA

DTA::TokWrap::Base inherits from DTA::TokWrap::Logger.

Constructors etc.

new

            

              
              
$obj = $CLASS_OR_OBJ->new(%args);
            
          

Generic constructor. %args is a hash of subclass-dependent constructor options.

The default implementation calls $CLASS_OR_OBJ->defaults() before the new object is instiated, and and $obj->init() afterwords.

defaults

            

              
              
%defaults = CLASS_OR_OBJ->defaults();
            
          

Subclasses may define a defaults() method to set static (class-dependent) object defaults. The return value %defaults should be an object option hash.

The default implementation just returns an empty hash.

init

            

              
              
$obj = $obj->init();
            
          

Subclasses may define an init() method to compute dynamic (object-dependent) object defaults.

The default implementation does nothing.
