NAME

Visitor - a sample Visitor object for Netscape bookmarks

SYNOPSIS

        use Netscape::Bookmarks;
        use Visitor;
        
        my $netscape = Netscape::Bookmarks->new( 'Bookmarks.html' );
        my $visitor = Visitor->new();
        
        my $netscape->introduce( $visitor );
        

DESCRIPTION

This class is an example Visitor class for Netscape::Bookmarks. It dispatches the visit to a method depending on what sort of object it visits. For all objects, a short message is output to standard output. For a link object, it calls in HTTP::SimpleLinkChecker if you have it and then checks the link.

You can use this as a starting point for your own Visitor.

new()

No big whoop. It simply creates an uninteresting object that knows it's class so we can dispatch with it.

visit()

The Netscape::AcceptVisitors module requires this method. Use visit() to dispatch a visit to the right method. How you do that is up to you.

Beyond that, look at the code.
