my $tube = Map::Tube::Beijing->new();
my $route = $tube->get_shortest_route('Yonghegong', 'Chongwenmen');
print "Route: $route\n";
DESCRIPTION
This module allows to find the shortest route between any two given tube stations in Beijing. All interesting methods are provided by the role Map::Tube.
METHODS
CONSTRUCTOR
use Map::Tube::Beijing;
my $tube_chin = Map::Tube::Beijing->new();
my $tube_pinyin = Map::Tube::Beijing->new( nametype => 'alt' );
This will read the tube information from the shared file beijing-map.xml, which is part of the distribution. Without argument, full Chinese characters (simplified) will be used. With the value 'alt
' for nametype
, pinyin transliteration into Western characters will be used. Other values will throw an error.
ERRORS
If something goes wrong, maybe because the map information file was corrupted, the constructor will die.
