Badger
use Badger
lib => '../lib', # like 'use lib' but relative to $Bin
Filesystem => 'File Dir', # import from Badger::Filesystem
use Badger
Filesystem => 'Dir File',
Utils => 'numlike textlike',
Constants => 'ARRAY HASH',
Codecs => [codec => 'base64'];
This is equivalent to:
use Badger; use Badger::Filesystem 'Dir File'; use Badger::Utils 'numlike textlike', use Badger::Constants 'ARRAY HASH', use Badger::Codecs codec => 'base64';
The Badger toolkit is a collection of Perl modules designed to simplify
the process of building object-oriented Perl applications. It provides a
set of foundation classes upon which you can quickly build robust
and reliable systems that are simple, sexy and scalable. See
Badger::Intro for further information.
The Badger module is a front-end to other
Badger modules. You can use it to import any of the
exportable items from any other Badger module. Simply
specify the module name, minus the Badger:: prefix as a load
option.
For example:
use Badger
Filesystem => 'Dir File',
Utils => 'numlike textlike',
Constants => 'ARRAY HASH',
Codecs => [codec => 'base64'];
This is equivalent to:
use Badger; use Badger::Filesystem 'Dir File'; use Badger::Utils 'numlike textlike', use Badger::Constants 'ARRAY HASH', use Badger::Codecs codec => 'base64';
Note that multiple arguments for a module should be defined as a list reference.
use Badger
...etc...
Codecs => [codec => 'base64'];
This is equivalent to:
use Badger::Codecs [codec => 'base64'];
Which is also equivalent to:
use Badger::Codecs codec => 'base64';
The Badger module can import items from any other
Badger::* module, as shown in the examples above. The
following export hook is also provided.
This performs the same task as use lib in adding a directory
to your @INC module include path. However, there are two
differences. First, you can specify a directory relative to the directory
in which the script exists.
use Badger lib => '../perl/lib';
For example, consider a directory layout like this:
my_project/
bin/
example_script.pl
perl/
lib/
My/
Module.pm
t/
my_module.t
The my_project/example_script.pl can be written
like so:
#!/usr/bin/perl use Badger lib => '../perl/lib'; use My::Module; # your code here...
This adds my_project/perl/lib to the include
path so that the My::Module module can be correctly located.
It is equivalent to the following code using the FindBin module.
#!/usr/bin/perl use FindBin '$Bin'; use lib "$Bin/../perl/lib"; use My::Module;
Returns a Badger::Hub object.
Delegates to the Badger::Hub codec() method to return a Badger::Codec object.
my $base64 = Badger->codec('base64');
my $encoded = $base64->encode($uncoded);
my $decoded = $base64->decode($encoded);
Delegates to the Badger::Hub codec() method to return a Badger::Config object. This is still experimental.
Other methods like codec() to access
different Badger modules. These should be generated
dynamically on demand.
