This module is a subclass of XML::Twig, specially tailored to render SQL reports in various formats, based on DBIx::SearchBuilder.
Its API is designed to interact with users via RTx::Report's Web UI, which can incrementally construct complex reports.
NOTES
This is PRE-ALPHA code. Until the official release of RTx::Report, using this module for anything (except for learning purporses) is strongly discouraged.
For more details on how to use this module, see the t/1-basic.t file in the source distribution.
METHODS
new(%args)
Constructor. Takes either a DBIx::SearchBuilder::Handle object as the named $Handle parameter, or a set of parameters for DBIx::SearchBuilder::Handle::new.
Also takes an optional $Content parameter to parse; if unspecified, use the default blank content structure.
