NAME

SUPPORTED PLATFORMS

BSD, Linux, Solaris and Windows.

REQUIRE

• perl 5.004

ISA

• None

SYNOPSIS

   require LibWeb::Class;
   @ISA = qw(LibWeb::Class);
 

ABSTRACT

This class contains common object-oriented methods inherited by all LibWeb modules. It is intended to be ISA by LibWeb modules and extensions and not used by client codes outside LibWeb.

The current version of LibWeb::Class is available at

    http://libweb.sourceforge.net
 

Several LibWeb applications (LEAPs) have be written, released and are available at

    http://leaps.sourceforge.net
 

DESCRIPTION

METHODS

rearrange()

This is not really OO related but makes LibWeb's API look sexy. This is stolen from CGI.pm and modified. It allows smart rearrangement of parameters for named parameter calling. This does the rearrangement if the first parameter begins with a `-'. For example,

   sub your_class_method {
 

       my $self = shift;
       my ($parameter1, $parameter2, $parameter3);
         = $self->rearrange( ['PARA1', 'PARA2', 'PARA3'], @_ );
 

       ....
 

   }
 

and your method will be called as

   use your_class;
   my $object = new your_class();
 

   $object->your_class_method( 
                               -para1 => $para1,
                               -para2 => $para2,
                               -para3 => $para3
                             );
