NAME

Data::Visitor::Callback - A Data::Visitor with callbacks.

SYNOPSIS

        use Data::Visitor::Callback;

        my $v = Data::Visitor::Callback->new(
                value => sub { ... },
                array => sub { ... },
        );

        $v->visit( $some_perl_value );

DESCRIPTION

This is a Data::Visitor subclass that lets you invoke callbacks instead of needing to subclass yourself.

METHODS

new %opts, %callbacks

Construct a new visitor.

The options supported are:

ignore_return_values

When this is true (off by default) the return values from the callbacks are ignored, thus disabling the fmapping behavior as documented in Data::Visitor.

This is useful when you want to modify $_ directly

CALLBACKS

Use these keys for the corresponding callbacks.

The callback is in the form:

        sub {
                my ( $visitor, $data ) = @_;

                # or you can use $_, it's aliased

                return $data; # or modified data
        }

Within the callback $_ is aliased to the data, and this is also passed in the parameter list.

visit

Called for all values

value

Called for non objects, non container (hash, array, glob or scalar ref) values.

ref_value

You can use any class name as a clalback. This is clled only after the object callback.
