NAME

MongoDB::GridFS::File - A Mongo GridFS file (DEPRECATED)

VERSION

version v1.4.0

SYNOPSIS

use MongoDB::GridFS::File;

$outfile = IO::File->new("outfile", "w");
$file = $grid->find_one;
$file->print($outfile);

USAGE

Error handling

Unless otherwise explictly documented, all methods throw exceptions if an error occurs. The error types are documented in MongoDB::Error.

To catch and handle errors, the Try::Tiny and Safe::Isa modules are recommended:

use Try::Tiny;
use Safe::Isa; # provides $_isa

$bytes = try {
    $file->slurp;
}
catch {
    if ( $_->$_isa("MongoDB::TimeoutError" ) {
        ...
    }
    else {
        ...
    }
};

To retry failures automatically, consider using Try::Tiny::Retry.

ATTRIBUTES

print

$written = $file->print($fh);
