NAME

Data::Object::Base - Perl base class for OO methods to perl data structures.

DESCRIPTION

This module is a base class for common methods used by Data::Object sub classes

ATTRIBUTES

raw

This is the raw refrence, Use when needed to get the original data structure

type

This will return the reftype of the wrapped structure

blessed

This will return a true value if the wrapped structure is a blessed object.
The return value will be the blessed value, or undef if its not blessed.

METHODS

cleanup

Empty the children cache, this is probly not needed. Unless you want to serialize/freeze a C:D:E object. Because the children cache makes use of ref addresses which will not make any sense after deserialization/thaw, and just take up memory

get ( KEY | INDEX )

get an item from the backend

This is a wrapper to make sure get items are wrapped in a D:O object

set

set a value in a data structure, makeing sure they are not D:O objects

dump

Dump the data structure in side this wrapper and return it.

_ClassIfPossible

Most of the array methods return arrays of elements, if those elements are refrences I want them turned into D:O Objects

Store a cache of D:O objects created by this instance by the ref value.

_deClassArgs

This private method is used to change out D:O objects with their raw references.

AUTOLOAD

AUTOLOAD accessor methods for every key/index in the raw class
