NAME
Parse::AFP - Parser for IBM's Advanced Function Printing document format
VERSION
This document describes version 0.25 of Parse::AFP, released October 16, 2010.
SYNOPSIS
use Parse::AFP;
my $afp = Parse::AFP->new('input.afp');
while (my $rec = $afp->next_member) {
print $rec->dump;
# ...
$rec->refresh; # if modified
}
$afp->refresh; # if modified
$afp->write('output.afp');DESCRIPTION
This module processes IBM's AFP (Advanced Function Printing) files into an object hierarchy; each object may be individually modified, dumped into binary, or written back to another AFP file.
Running the bundled afpdump.pl on a AFP file will probably explain this module's behaviour better than reading this documentation.
METHODS
Methods below applies to all objects in the objects hierarchy.
new
Constructor. Takes either a filename, or a scalar reference to content.
dump
Returns the binary representation of the current object.
write
Takes a filename and writes the binary representation to it.
refresh
Regenerate binary representation from in-memory data from the object itself and its members. Also refreshes all uplevel parents.
members
Returns a list of member objects, if any.
next_member
Iterator for member objects.
parent
Returns the parent of this object, or undef if this is the toplevel object.
ACCESSORS
Each class may define additional accessors, in the form of FieldName and SetFieldName. There are no accessors for the toplevel Parse::AFP object.
