# You can get the language handle "L10N", "nbsp", "nbsp_flag", "auto_nbsp_flag1" and/or "auto_nbsp_flag2" back on this way.
my ($lh, $nbsp, $nbsp_flag, $auto_nbsp_flag1, $auto_nbsp_flag2) = tied(%quant)->Get(qw/L10N nbsp nbsp_flag auto_nbsp_flag1 auto_nbsp_flag2/);DESCRIPTION
Object methods like quant don't have interpreted into strings. The module ties the method quant to a hash. The object method quant is executed at fetch hash. At long last this is the same, only the notation is shorter.
You can use the module also without Locale::Maketext::TieHash::L10N. Whether this is better for you, have decide you.
METHODS
TIEHASH
use Locale::Maketext::TieHash::quant;
tie my %quant, 'Locale::Maketext::TieHash::quant';"TIEHASH" ties your hash and set options defaults.
STORE
"STORE" stores the language handle or options.
# store the language handle
$quant{L10N} = $lh;
# store option of language handle
$quant{numf_comma} = 1;
# the same is:
$lh->{numf_comma} = 1;
# only for debugging your HTML response
$quant{nbsp} = 'see_position_of_nbsp_in_HTML_response'; # default is ' '
# Set a flag to say:
# Substitute the whitespace before this flag and this flag to ' ' or your debugging string.
# The "nbsp_flag" is a string (1 or more characters).
$quant{nbsp_flag} = '~';
# You get the string "singular,plural,negative" from any data base.
$quant{auto_nbsp_flag1} = 1; # As if the "nbsp_flag" in front of "singular" would stand.
$quant{auto_nbsp_flag2} = 1; # As if the "nbsp_flag" in front of "plural" would stand.The method calls croak, if the key of your hash is undef or your key isn't correct and if the value, you set to option "nbsp", is undef.
FETCH
"FETCH" quantifying the given key of your hash and give back the translated string as value.
# quantifying
print $quant{"$number singular,plural,negative"};
# the same is:
print $lh->quant($number, 'singular', 'plural', 'negative');
...
# Use "nbsp" and "nbsp_flag", "auto_nbsp_flag1" and "auto_nbsp_flag2" are true.
print $quant{"$number singular,plural,negative"};
# the same is:
my $result = $lh->quant($number, '~'.'singular', '~'.'plural', 'negative');
$result =~ s/ ~/ /g; # But not a global debugging function is available.The method calls croak, if the method "quant" of your stored language handle dies.
Get
Submit 1 key or more. The method "Get" give you the values back.
The method calls croak if a key is undef or unknown.
