6       Boulder::String - Read and write tag/value data from a string.
7

SYNOPSIS

9          #!/bin/perl
10          # Read a B<Stone> from stdin and create a string that can be
11          # passed to a dumb sub, which doesn't know about Stones.
12          use Boulder::Stream;
13          use Boulder::String;
14
15          my $stream = Boulder::Stream->newFh;
16
17          # read a stone from stdin
18          my $record = <$stream> );
19
20             print $stream $record;
21           }
22

DESCRIPTION

24       Boulder::String provides access to Boulder IO hierarchical tag/value
25       data.  Stone objects printed to the tied string are appended to the
26       string in Boulder format.
27

Boulder::Stream METHODS

29   $stream = Boulder::Stream->new($in_string,\$out_string);
30       The new() method creates a new Boulder::String object.  You must
31       provide an input string and a reference to an output string.  The input
32       string may be empty.
33
34   $stream->write_record($stone)
35       Write the passed stone in Boulder IO format into $out_string.
