Version 0.01

DESCRIPTION

Biblio::ILL::ISO::Request is a derivation of the abstract Biblio::ILL::ISO::ISO object, and handles the ILL-Request message type.

CONSTRUCTORS

new()

Base constructor for the class. It just returns a completely empty message object, which you'll need to populate with the various set_() methods, or use the read() method to read an ILL-Request message from a file (followed by a call to from_asn() to turn the read's returned hash into a proper Request message.

The constructor also initializes the Convert::ASN1 if it hasn't been initialized.

METHODS

For any example code, assume the following: my $msg = new Biblio::ILL::ISO::Request;

from_asn($href)

To read a message from a file, use the following:

my $href = $msg->read("msg_01.request.ber");
$msg = $msg->from_asn($href);

The from_asn() method turns the hash returned from read() into a proper message-type object.

set_protocol_version_num($pvn)

Sets the protocol version number.
Acceptable parameter values are the strings:
   version-1
   version-2
