NAME

Repository::Simple::Value - Tie interface to property values

DESCRIPTION

This class is used for access a property value. This class is never instantiated directly, but retrieved from a property via the value() method:

my $value = $property->value;
my $scalar = $value->get_scalar;
my $handle = $handle->get_handle('<');

METHODS

$scalar = $value->get_scalar

Retrieve the value of the property as a scalar value.

$handle = $value->get_handle
$handle = $value->get_handle($mode)

Retrieve the value of the property as an IO handle. The $mode argument is used to specify what kind of handle it is. It should be one of:

  • "<"

  • ">"

  • ">>"

  • "+<"

  • "+>"

  • "+>>"

If the value cannot be returned with a handle in the given mode, the method will croak. If $mode is not given, then "<" is assumed.
