NAME

Apache::Wyrd::Interfaces::XMLer - Convenience interface for XML::Simple

SYNOPSIS

use base qw(Apache::Wyrd::Interfaces::XMLer Apache::Wyrd);

    keyattr => ['name'],

DESCRIPTION

Convenience wrapper for XML::Simple. Files are stored under the document root. Exceptions are caught by eval().

METHODS

(format: (returns) name (arguments after self))

(scalar) _get_data (scalar, hashref)

Open the XML file and read it in as a hashref. The first argument should be the document-root-relative filename, the second is the hashref used to initialize the XML::Simple object.

(scalar) _put_data (void)

Save a hashref as an XML file. Similar to _get_data.
