89           Read definitions from the specified $source, which usually can be a
90           filehandle or filename.  The syntax used in the information $source
91           is archiver dependent.
92
93           Not all archivers implement "from()", so you may want to check with
94           "UNIVERSAL::can()" beforehand.
95
96           example:
97
98            use User::Identity::Archive::Some;
99            my $a = User::Identity::Archive::Some->new('xyz');
100            $a->from(\*STDIN) if $a->can('from');

DIAGNOSTICS

103       Error: $object is not a collection.
104           The first argument is an object, but not of a class which extends
105           User::Identity::Collection.
106
107       Error: Cannot load collection module for $type ($class).
108           Either the specified $type does not exist, or that module named
109           $class returns compilation errors.  If the type as specified in the
110           warning is not the name of a package, you specified a nickname
111           which was not defined.  Maybe you forgot the 'require' the package
112           which defines the nickname.
113
114       Error: Creation of a collection via $class failed.
115           The $class did compile, but it was not possible to create an object
116           of that class using the options you specified.
117
118       Error: Don't know what type of collection you want to add.
119           If you add a collection, it must either by a collection object or a
120           list of options which can be used to create a collection object.
121           In the latter case, the type of collection must be specified.
122
123       Warning: No collection $name
124           The collection with $name does not exist and can not be created.
