NAME Parse::AFP - Parser for IBM's Advanced Function Printing document format VERSION This document describes version 0.25 of Parse::AFP, released October 16, 2010. SYNOPSIS use Parse::AFP; my $afp = Parse::AFP->new('input.afp'); while (my $rec = $afp->next_member) { print $rec->dump; # ... $rec->refresh; # if modified } $afp->refresh; # if modified $afp->write('output.afp'); DESCRIPTION This module processes IBM's AFP (Advanced Function Printing) files into an object hierarchy; each object may be individually modified, dumped into binary, or written back to another AFP file. Running the bundled "afpdump.pl" on a AFP file will probably explain this module's behaviour better than reading this documentation. METHODS Methods below applies to all objects in the objects hierarchy. new Constructor. Takes either a filename, or a scalar reference to content. dump Returns the binary representation of the current object. write Takes a filename and writes the binary representation to it. refresh Regenerate binary representation from in-memory data from the object itself and its members. Also refreshes all uplevel parents. members Returns a list of member objects, if any. next_member Iterator for member objects. parent Returns the parent of this object, or *undef* if this is the toplevel object. ACCESSORS Each class may define additional accessors, in the form of "FieldName" and "SetFieldName". There are no accessors for the toplevel Parse::AFP object.
