NAME
Data::Embed::Reader - embed arbitrary data in a file - reader class
METHODS
files
Get the list of files embedded into the main file.
In list context, it returns a list of Data::Embed::File objects, each representing a different embedded file.
In scalar context, it returns an anonymous array with the list above.
new
Constructor. Takes one positional parameter, that can be either a filename or a filehandle (in particular, a GLOB).
If a filename is provided, is it opened for read in :raw
mode; an exception will be thrown if errors arise.
If a filehandle is provided, it is expected to be seekable and will also be binmode
-d in :raw
mode; again, an exception is thrown in case of errors.
prefix
Get the prefix of a file, i.e. the data that is at the beginning of a target but that it is not indexed. It is provided as a Data::Embed::File
.
reset
reset the object's cached data, in particular the list of files. This might come handy in case you update the file and you want to re-read the index.
