POE::Filter::Block - filter between streams and blocks
$filter = POE::Filter::Block->new( BlockSize => 1024 ); $arrayref_of_blocks = $filter->get($arrayref_of_raw_chunks_from_driver); $arrayref_of_streamable_chunks_for_driver = $filter->put($arrayref_of_blocks); $arrayref_of_leftovers = $filter->get_pending();
The Block filter translates data between serial streams and blocks. It can handle two kinds of block: fixed-length and length-prepended.
Fixed-length blocks are used when Block's constructor is given a block size. Otherwise the Block filter uses length-prepended blocks.
Users who specify block sizes less than one deserve to be soundly spanked.
Extra bytes are buffered until more bytes arrive to complete a block.

The put() method doesn't verify block sizes.
