IDS::DataSource::Lines

Introduction

This class is a subclass of IDS::DataSource, and meets its interface specification.

This class exists primarily as a template for new IDS::DataSource subclasses, but it is fully-functional, if a little boring.

load(source)

load exactly one request from a file, IO::Handle, or supplied string. If a string is used, it is up to the caller to ensure that more than one request is not in the string.

read_session(filehandle)

Read an HTTP session (up to EOF or a blank line) from the filehandle passed as an argument.

read_next(filehandle)

Read the next request from the list of files (filehandle containing list of file names is argument).

data()

Return the data used for the tokens we have. If called in array mode, we return the individual lines, otherwise the join of those line.

source()

source(value)

Set and/or get the data source.

tokens()

Return the tokens that result from parsing the structure. The tokens can be returned as an array or a reference to the internal array holding them (for efficiency). Modify this referenced array at your own risk.

Functions required by IDS::DataSource

default_parameters()

Sets all of the default values for the parameters. Normally called by new() or one of its descendents.

param_options()

Command-line option specifiers for our parameters for GetOpt::Long.
