DESCRIPTION

Text::Pipe::List::First inherits from Text::Pipe::Base.

new()

METHODS

clear_code

$obj->clear_code;

Clears the value. =item code

my $value = $obj->code;
$obj->code($value);

A basic getter/setter method. If called without an argument, it returns the value. If called with a single argument, it sets the value. =item code_clear

$obj->code_clear;

Clears the value.

filter

If the input is an array reference, it passes each element to the code reference. The element will be in $_. Returns the first element for which the code reference returns a true value.

If the input is a single string, it just returns that string. This is semantically correct - if there is only one string, it has to be the first one as well.
