FAQ
o What is the purpose of this set of modules?
It's the basis of a long-term project to write a new interface to GEDCOM files.
How are the modules related?
- o Genealogy::Gedcom
-
This is a dummy module at the moment, which just occupies the namespace.
- o Genealogy::Gedcom::Reader
-
This employs the lexer to do the work. It may one day use a (non-existent) parser too.
Run scripts/read.pl -help.
read.pl is currenly a copy of lex.pl. The latter is recommended.
- o Genealogy::Gedcom::Reader::Lexer
-
This does the real work for finding tokens within GEDCOM files.
Run scripts/lex.pl -help.
See Genealogy::Gedcom::Reader::Lexer for details.
Why did you choose Hash::FieldHash over Moose?
My policy is to use the light-weight Hash::FieldHash for stand-alone modules and Moose for applications.
