Changes for version 0.02 - 2002-08-17
- Restructured the class. The initial implementation used a single package for variant and non-variant records. All attempts to format or unformat buffers resulted in checking for variants. Non-variant records can now skip this step and should be faster.
- B<Data::FixedFormat> was rewritten to handle a single variant. The C<new> method now returns a B<Data::FixedFormat::Variants> if a variant record layout is requested. This class maintains a list of B<Data::FixedFormat> objects to perform conversions.
- Added the C<blank> method.
- Updated the documentation and corrected some errors in the examples.
