SYNOPSIS

13           use Palm::Raw;
14
15       For standalone programs.
16
17           use Palm::Raw();
18           @ISA = qw( Palm::Raw );
19
20       For Palm::PDB helper modules.
21

DESCRIPTION

23       The Raw PDB handler is a helper class for the Palm::PDB package. It is
24       intended as a generic handler for any database, or as a fallback
25       default handler.
26
27       If you have a standalone program and want it to be able to parse any
28       type of database, use
29
30           use Palm::Raw;
31
32       If you are using Palm::Raw as a parent class for your own database
33       handler, use
34
35           use Palm::Raw();
36
37       If you omit the parentheses, Palm::Raw will register itself as the
38       default handler for all databases, which is probably not what you want.
39
40       The Raw handler does no processing on the database whatsoever. The
41       AppInfo block, sort block, records and resources are simply strings,
42       raw data from the database.
43
44       By default, the Raw handler only handles record databases (.pdb files).
45       If you want it to handle resource databases (.prc files) as well, you
46       need to call
47
48           &Palm::PDB::RegisterPRCHandlers("Palm::Raw", "");
49
50       in your script.
51
52   AppInfo block
53           $pdb->{appinfo}
54
55       This is a scalar, the raw data of the AppInfo block.
56
57   Sort block
58           $pdb->{sort}
59
60       This is a scalar, the raw data of the sort block.
61
62   Records
63           @{$pdb->{records}Z<>};
64
65       Each element in the "records" array is a reference-to-hash. In addition
66       to the standard keys ("attributes", "category", and "id"), this hash
67       contains the key "data"; its value is a string with the raw record
68       data.
69
70   Resources
71           @{$pdb->{resources}Z<>};
72
73       Each element in the "resources" array is a reference-to-hash. In
74       addition to the standard keys ("type" and "id"), it contains the key
75       "data"; its value is a string with the raw resource data.
