The following module was proposed for inclusion in the Module List:
modid: Class::Colon
DSLIP: bdpOp
description: Makes objects from colon delimited files
userid: PHILCROW (Philip Crow)
chapterid: 6 (Data_Type_Utilities)
communities:
similar:
DBD::CSV Class::DBI::mysql
rationale:
Class::Colon converts colon delimited files into lists of objects.
This is similar in spirit to what Class::DBI::mysql does for mysql
tables. DBD::CSV could probably be used in place of Class::Colon,
but at the cost of extra developer time. It is based on SQL, which
is far richer than a colon delimited file can really use.
Simply say:
use Class::Colon SomeClass => [ qw(field names here) ] my $records
= SomeClass->READ_FILE("input.dat");
$records is an anonymous array of objects, one for each row in
input.dat. Each object has three attributes: field, names, and here.
