XML::Generator::Pdb - Generate SAX events from a Palm PDB

SYNOPSIS

Top

 use XML::Handler::YAWriter;
 use XML::Generator::Pdb;
 use IO::File;

 my $writer = XML::Handler::YAWriter->new(
                  Output => IO::File->new( ">-" ),
                  Pretty => {
                    PrettyWhiteIndent => 1,
                    PrettyWhiteNewline => 1
                  }
               );

 my $driver = XML::Generator::Pdb->new(
                  Handler => $writer,
                  PDBFile => $file,
                  Layout => [
                    'int',
                    'date',
                    'time',
                    'text',
                    'text',
                    'text'
                  ]
              );

 $driver->parse;

DESCRIPTION

Top

This module generates SAX1 events from a palm PDB database. In combination with an XML writer, this module can be used to convert a PDB to an XML description. If you plug this generator in a SAX pipeline (e.g. AxKit) you can manipulate a PDB just as you could do with any other XML source.

SYNTAX

Top

More information about the syntax of the generated XML - or SAX events - can be found in XML::Handler::Pdb.

The next datatypes are supported:

int
date
time
byte
float, double
short
text

You specify the layout of the database records in the constructor of XML::Generator::Pdb, using the Layout anonymous array.
