NAME

DataFlow::Proc::DPath - A processor that filters parts of data structures

VERSION

version 1.112100

SYNOPSIS

  use DataFlow::Proc::DPath;
  my $proc =
    DataFlow::Proc::DPath->new( search_dpath => '//*[key =~ /potatoes/]' );

  @result = $proc->process($data);   # some complex data structure

  # Or, more commonly

  use DataFlow;

  my $flow = DataFlow->new([
    # ...
	[ DPath => search_dpath => '//*[key =~ /potatoes/]' ],
    # ...
  ]);

  @result = $flow->process($data);

DESCRIPTION

This processor provides a filter for Perl data structures using the Data::DPath module. Items will always be treated as scalars (it is likely they will be references to more complex structures, but nonetheless, scalars) and the result will always be an array, with zero or more elements.

Use the references attribute if you want to receive references to the filtered-down content (perhaps you would like to modify only a part of the data structure).

ATTRIBUTES

search_dpath

The path expression used by the Data::DPath functions.

references

This attribute is a boolean, and it signals whether the result list should have references into the data structure or simple copies. The default is 0 (false).
