NAME

6       Net::HL7::Connection - An HL7 connection
7

SYNOPSIS

9       use Net::HL7::Connection; use Net::HL7::Request;
10
11       my $conn = new Net::HL7::Connection('localhost', 8089);
12
13       my $req = new Net::HL7::Request();
14

DESCRIPTION

22       The Net::HL7::Connection object represents the tcp connection to the
23       HL7 message broker. The Connection has only two useful methods (apart
24       from the constructor), send and close. The 'send' method takes a
25       Net::HL7::Request as argument, and returns a Net::HL7::Response. The
26       send method can be used more than once, before the connection is
27       closed.
28

31
32       MESSAGE_PREFIX
33           The prefix to be sent to the HL7 server to initiate the message.
34           Defaults to \013.

36       MESSAGE_SUFFIX
