NAME

App::Addex::Output - base class for output plugins

VERSION

version 0.027

DESCRIPTION

This is a base class for output plugins.

PERL VERSION SUPPORT

This module has the same support period as perl itself: it supports the two most recent versions of perl. (That is, if the most recently released version is v5.40, then this module should work on both v5.40 and v5.38.)

Although it may work on older versions of perl, no guarantee is made that the minimum required version will not be increased. The version may be increased for any reason, and there is no promise that patches will be accepted to lower the minimum required perl.

METHODS

new

my $output_plugin = App::Addex::Output->new(\%arg);

This method returns a new outputter.

process_entry

$output_plugin->process_entry($entry);

This method is called once for each entry to be processed. It must be overridden in output plugin classes, or the base implementation will throw an exception when called.

finalize

$output_plugin->finalize;

This method is called after all entries have been processed.
