NAME

Data::Hive::PathPacker::Flexible - a path packer that can be customized with callbacks

VERSION

version 1.006

DESCRIPTION

This class provides the Data::Hive::PathPacker interface, and the way in which paths are packed and unpacked can be defined by callbacks set during initialization.

METHODS

new

  my $path_packer = Data::Hive::PathPacker::Flexible->new( \%arg );

The valid arguments are:

escape and unescape

These coderefs are used to escape and path parts so that they can be split and joined without ambiguity. The callbacks will be called like this:

  my $result = do {
    local $_ = $path_part;
    $store->$callback( $path_part );
  }

The default escape routine uses URI-like encoding on non-word characters.

join, split, and separator

The join coderef is used to join pre-escaped path parts. split is used to split up a complete name before unescaping the parts.

By default, they will use a simple perl join and split on the character given in the separator option.
