NAME

Data::Hive::PathPacker::Flexible - a path packer that can be customized with callbacks

VERSION

version 1.015

DESCRIPTION

This class provides the Data::Hive::PathPacker interface, and the way in which paths are packed and unpacked can be defined by callbacks set during initialization.

PERL VERSION

This library should run on perls released even a long time ago. It should work on any version of perl released in the last five years.

Although it may work on older versions of perl, no guarantee is made that the minimum required version will not be increased. The version may be increased for any reason, and there is no promise that patches will be accepted to lower the minimum required perl.

METHODS

new

my $path_packer = Data::Hive::PathPacker::Flexible->new( \%arg );

The valid arguments are:

escape and unescape

These coderefs are used to escape and path parts so that they can be split and joined without ambiguity. The callbacks will be called like this:

my $result = do {
  local $_ = $path_part;
  $store->$callback( $path_part );
}

The default escape routine uses URI-like encoding on non-word characters.

join, split, and separator

The join coderef is used to join pre-escaped path parts. split is used to split up a complete name before unescaping the parts.

By default, they will use a simple perl join and split on the character given in the separator option.
