NAME

6       Data::Section::Simple - Read data from __DATA__

SYNOPSIS

9         use Data::Section::Simple qw(get_data_section);
10
11         # Functional interface -- reads from caller package __DATA__
12         my $all = get_data_section; # All data in hash reference
13         my $foo = get_data_section('foo.html');
14
15         # OO - allows reading from other packages
16         my $reader = Data::Section::Simple->new($package);
17         my $all = $reader->get_data_section;

DESCRIPTION

32       Data::Section::Simple is a simple module to extract data from
33       "__DATA__" section of the file.
34

LIMITATIONS

36       As the name suggests, this module is a simpler version of the excellent
37       Data::Section. If you want more functionalities such as merging data
38       sections or changing header patterns, use Data::Section instead.
39
40       This module does not implement caching (yet) which means in every
41       "get_data_section" or "get_data_section($name)" this module seeks and
42       re-reads the data section. If you want to avoid doing so for the better
43       performance, you should implement caching in your own caller code.
44

BUGS

46   __DATA__ appearing elsewhere
47       If you data section has literal "__DATA__" in the data section, this
48       module might be tricked by that. Although since its pattern match is
49       greedy, "__DATA__" appearing before the actual data section (i.e. in
50       the code) might be okay.
51
52       This is by design -- in theory you can "tell" the DATA handle before
53       reading it, but then reloading the data section of the file (handy for
54       developing inline templates with PSGI web applications) would fail
55       because the pos would be changed.
56
57       If you don't like this design, again, use the superior Data::Section.
58
59   utf8 pragma
60       If you enable utf8 pragma in the caller's package (or the package
61       you're inspecting with the OO interface), the data retrieved via
62       "get_data_section" is decoded, but otherwise undecoded. There's no
63       reliable way for this module to programmatically know whether utf8
64       pragma is enabled or not: it's your responsibility to handle them
65       correctly.
