Pod::Simple::PullParser(3pm)          Perl Programmers Reference Guide          Pod::Simple::PullParser(3pm)



NAME
       Pod::Simple::PullParser -- a pull-parser interface to parsing Pod

SYNOPSIS
        my $parser = SomePodProcessor->new;
        $parser->set_source( "whatever.pod" );
        $parser->run;

       Or:

        my $parser = SomePodProcessor->new;
        $parser->set_source( $some_filehandle_object );
        $parser->run;

       Or:

        my $parser = SomePodProcessor->new;
        $parser->set_source( \$document_source );
        $parser->run;

       Or:

        my $parser = SomePodProcessor->new;
        $parser->set_source( \@document_lines );
        $parser->run;

       And elsewhere:

        require 5;
        package SomePodProcessor;
        use strict;
        use base qw(Pod::Simple::PullParser);

        sub run {
          my $self = shift;
         Token:
          while(my $token = $self->get_token) {
            ...process each token...
          }
        }

DESCRIPTION
       This class is for using Pod::Simple to build a Pod processor -- but one that uses an interface based
       on a stream of token objects, instead of based on events.

       This is a subclass of Pod::Simple and inherits all its methods.

       A subclass of Pod::Simple::PullParser should define a "run" method that calls "$token =
       $parser->get_token" to pull tokens.

       See the source for Pod::Simple::RTF for an example of a formatter that uses Pod::Simple::PullParser.

METHODS
       my $token = $parser->get_token
           This returns the next token object (which will be of a subclass of Pod::Simple::PullParserToken),
           or undef if the parser-stream has hit the end of the document.

       $parser->unget_token( $token )
       $parser->unget_token( $token1, $token2, ... )
           This restores the token object(s) to the front of the parser stream.

       The source has to be set before you can parse anything.  The lowest-level way is to call
       "set_source":

       $parser->set_source( $filename )
       $parser->set_source( $filehandle_object )
       $parser->set_source( \$document_source )
       $parser->set_source( \@document_lines )

       Or you can call these methods, which Pod::Simple::PullParser has defined to work just like
       Pod::Simple's same-named methods:

       $parser->parse_file(...)
       $parser->parse_string_document(...)
       $parser->filter(...)
       $parser->parse_from_file(...)

       For those to work, the Pod-processing subclass of Pod::Simple::PullParser has to have defined a
       $parser->run method -- so it is advised that all Pod::Simple::PullParser subclasses do so.  See the
       Synopsis above, or the source for Pod::Simple::RTF.

       Authors of formatter subclasses might find these methods useful to call on a parser object that you
       haven't started pulling tokens from yet:

       my $title_string = $parser->get_title
           This tries to get the title string out of $parser, by getting some tokens, and scanning them for
           the title, and then ungetting them so that you can process the token-stream from the beginning.

           For example, suppose you have a document that starts out:

             =head1 NAME

             Hoo::Boy::Wowza -- Stuff B<wow> yeah!

           $parser->get_title on that document will return "Hoo::Boy::Wowza -- Stuff wow yeah!". If the
           document starts with:

             =head1 Name

             Hoo::Boy::W00t -- Stuff B<w00t> yeah!

           Then you'll need to pass the "nocase" option in order to recognize "Name":

             $parser->get_title(nocase => 1);

           In cases where get_title can't find the title, it will return empty-string ("").

       my $title_string = $parser->get_short_title
           This is just like get_title, except that it returns just the modulename, if the title seems to be
           of the form "SomeModuleName -- description".

           For example, suppose you have a document that starts out:

             =head1 NAME

             Hoo::Boy::Wowza -- Stuff B<wow> yeah!

           then $parser->get_short_title on that document will return "Hoo::Boy::Wowza".

           But if the document starts out:

             =head1 NAME

             Hooboy, stuff B<wow> yeah!

           then $parser->get_short_title on that document will return "Hooboy, stuff wow yeah!". If the
           document starts with:

             =head1 Name

             Hoo::Boy::W00t -- Stuff B<w00t> yeah!

           Then you'll need to pass the "nocase" option in order to recognize "Name":

             $parser->get_short_title(nocase => 1);

           If the title can't be found, then get_short_title returns empty-string ("").

       $author_name   = $parser->get_author
           This works like get_title except that it returns the contents of the "=head1
           AUTHOR\n\nParagraph...\n" section, assuming that that section isn't terribly long. To recognize a
           "=head1 Author\n\nParagraph\n" section, pass the "nocase" otpion:

             $parser->get_author(nocase => 1);

           (This method tolerates "AUTHORS" instead of "AUTHOR" too.)

       $description_name = $parser->get_description
           This works like get_title except that it returns the contents of the "=head1
           DESCRIPTION\n\nParagraph...\n" section, assuming that that section isn't terribly long. To
           recognize a "=head1 Description\n\nParagraph\n" section, pass the "nocase" otpion:

             $parser->get_description(nocase => 1);

       $version_block = $parser->get_version
           This works like get_title except that it returns the contents of the "=head1 VERSION\n\n[BIG
           BLOCK]\n" block.  Note that this does NOT return the module's $VERSION!! To recognize a "=head1
           Version\n\n[BIG BLOCK]\n" section, pass the "nocase" otpion:

             $parser->get_version(nocase => 1);

NOTE
       You don't actually have to define a "run" method.  If you're writing a Pod-formatter class, you
       should define a "run" just so that users can call "parse_file" etc, but you don't have to.

       And if you're not writing a formatter class, but are instead just writing a program that does
       something simple with a Pod::PullParser object (and not an object of a subclass), then there's no
       reason to bother subclassing to add a "run" method.
