NAME
HTML::Object::Literal - Simple string values
SYNOPSIS
use HTML::Object::Literal;
my $this = HTML::Object::Literal->new || die( HTML::Object::Literal->error, "\n" );VERSION
v0.2.0DESCRIPTION
In XPath terms a Literal is what we know as a string.
This module inherits from Module::Generic::Scalar
METHODS
new
Provided with a string and this will create a new Literal object with the value in string. Note that " and ' will be converted to " and ' respectively. That is not part of the XPath specification, but I consider it useful. Note though that you have to go to extraordinary lengths in an XML template file (be it XSLT or whatever) to make use of this:
<xsl:value-of select=""I am feeling &quot;sad&quot;""/>Which produces a Literal of:
I am feeling "sad"as_string
Returns a string representation of this literal.
as_xml
Returns a string representation as xml.
evaluate
Does nothing. Returns the current object.
getAttributes
If called, this would return an error
getChildNodes
If called, this would return an error
getParentNode
If called, this would return an error
string_value
Returns the current value as-is.
to_boolean
Returns the current value as a boolean
to_literal
Returns the current object.
to_number
Returns the current value as a number
value
Also overloaded as stringification, simply returns the literal string value.
value_as_number
Returns the current value as a number
