NAME

Astro::App::Satpass2::Wrap::Array - Wrap an array reference.

SYNOPSIS

use Astro::App::Satpass2::Wrap::Array;

my @array = qw{ foo bar baz };
my $wrap = Astro::App::Satpass2::Wrap::Array->new( \@array );
foreach ( $wrap->dereference() ) {
    say;
}

DESCRIPTION

This class is private to the Astro-App-Satpass2 package. It can be changed or revoked without notice. All documentation is for the benefit of the author.

This class exists to mark arguments to Template-Toolkit that, when passed back through to other code, need to be dereferenced before use.

Well, honestly, it exists because I can't figure out how to get Template-Toolkit to do this on its own, and having all the relevant Astro-App-Satpass2 methods simply expand all array references has too many undesirable side effects. So what I intend to do is bless arguments that are to be expanded into this class.

METHODS

This class supports the following public methods:

new

my $wrap = Astro::App::Satpass2::Wrap::Array->new( \@foo );

This method instantiates the object. The array reference is required, and that array reference is blessed into this class.

dereference

my @array = $wrap->dereference();

This method returns the elements in the original array.
