NAME

Mixin::Linewise::Writers - get linewise writers for strings and filenames

VERSION

version 0.105

SYNOPSIS

package Your::Pkg;
use Mixin::Linewise::Writers -writers;

sub write_handle {
  my ($self, $data, $handle) = @_;

  $handle->print("datum: $_\n") for @$data;
}

Then:

use Your::Pkg;

Your::Pkg->write_file($data, $filename);

Your::Pkg->write_string($data, $string);

Your::Pkg->write_handle($data, $fh);

EXPORTS

write_file and write_string are exported by default. Either can be requested individually, or renamed. They are generated by Sub::Exporter, so consult its documentation for more information.

Both can be generated with the option "method" which requests that a method other than "write_handle" is called with the created IO::Handle.

If given a "binmode" option, any write_file type functions will use that as an IO layer, otherwise, the default is encoding(UTF-8).

use Mixin::Linewise::Writers -writers => { binmode => "raw" };
use Mixin::Linewise::Writers -writers => { binmode => "encoding(iso-8859-1)" };

write_file

Your::Pkg->write_file($data, $filename);
Your::Pkg->write_file($data, $options, $filename);

This method will try to open a new file with the given name. It will then call write_handle with that handle.

An optional hash reference may be passed before $filename with options. The only valid option currently is binmode, which overrides any default set from use or the built-in encoding(UTF-8).

Any arguments after $filename are passed along after to write_handle.

write_string

my $string = Your::Pkg->write_string($data);

write_string will create a new handle on the given string, then call write_handle to write to that handle, and return the resulting string. Because handles on strings must be octet-oriented, the string must contain octets. It will be opened in the default binmode established by importing. (See "EXPORTS", above.)

Any arguments after $data are passed along after to write_handle.
