ITERATIVE AND SERIAL PERL ITEMS

The Perl plugin allows packaged Perl subroutines to be called.

• name. The name of this item.

• package. The name of the Perl package. It must be in the library path. If the job is invoked by the e''''tlp command, %app_root%/lib will be in the path.

• sub. The subroutine being called.

• parameters. Text that will be eval'd as part of the subroutine invocation.

• on_error. Override the setting for the job. See See ETLp::Manual::Index for a detailed explanation of this parameter.

Example

<item>
    name     = rename files
    type     = perl
    package  = MyApp::ProcesFiles
    sub      = add_suffix
    params   = app_root => '%app_root%', \
               filename => '%filename%', \
               suffix   => '_bak'
</item>

Note, only iterative jobs can use iterative placeholders like %filename%.
