DESCRIPTION

TBX-Min is a minimal, DCT-style dialect of TBX. This module allows you to read, write and edit the contents of TBX-Min data.

METHODS

new_from_xml

Creates a new instance of TBX::Min. The single argument should be either a string pointer containing the TBX-Min XML data or the name of the file containing this data is required.

new

Creates a new TBX::Min instance. Optionally you may pass in a hash reference which is used to initialize the object. The allowed hash fields are id, description, date_created, creator, license, directionality, source_lang and target_lang, which correspond to methods of the same name, and concepts, which should be an array reference containing TBX::Min::ConceptEntry objects. This method croaks if date_created is not in ISO 8601 format.

id

Get or set the document id. This should be a unique string identifying this glossary.

description

Get or set the document description.

date_created

Get or set the the date that the document was created. This should be a string in ISO 8601 format. This method croaks if date_created is not in ISO 8601 format.

creator

Get or set the name of the document creator.

license

Get or set the document license string.

directionality

Get or set the document directionality string. This string represents the direction of translation this document is designed for.
