NAME

News::Pan::Server::Group - abstraction to a pan news group cache file

DESCRIPTION

There are two ways to set the abs_path of the news group cache file. Either through set_asb_path(), which returns boolean, or through argument to constructor. If you set it through argument to constructor, it will throw an exception if this is not a file.

my $server = new News::Pan::Server::Group({ abs_path => '/home/myself/.pan/astraweb/alt.binaries.sounds.mp3' }); 

my $server = new News::Pan::Server::Group;
$server->set_asb_path( '/home/myself/.pan/astraweb/alt.binaries.sounds.mp3' ) or warn('not a file');
