NAME

6       Text::RecordParser::Object - read delimited text files as objects
7

SYNOPSIS

9         my $o = $p->fetchrow_object;
10         my $name = $o->name;
11

METHOD

13   new
14       Just call "fetchrow_object" on a Text::RecordParser object to
15       instantiate an object.
16

DESCRIPTION

18       This module extends the idea of how you interact with delimited text
19       files, allowing you to enforce field names and identify field aliases
20       easily.  That is, if you are using the "fetchrow_hashref" method to
21       read each line, you may misspell the hash key and introduce a bug in
22       your code.  With this module, Perl will throw an error if you attempt
23       to read a field not defined in the file's headers.  Additionally, any
24       defined field aliases will be created as additional accessor methods.
25
26       As much as I like the full encapsulation of inside-out objects (e.g.,
27       as described in _Perl Best Practies_ by Damian Conway and provided by
28       Class::Std), I couldn't figure out a way to dynamically create the
29       class at runtime.  Besides, I figure this interface is only for those
30       who want to use the overhead of objects to enforce policy.  If you use
31       this module and still access the hash underneath the object, I can't
32       really help you.
