SYNOPSIS

        package foo;
        use Meta::Xml::Parsers::Connections qw();
        my($dbdef)=Meta::Xml::Parsers::Connections->new();
        $dbdef->parsefile($file);
        my($num_table)=$syntax->num_table();

DESCRIPTION

This object will create a Meta::Db::Connections for you from an xml definition for list of connections to database servers. This object extends XML::Parser and there is no doubt that this is the right way to go about implementing such an object (all the handles get the parser which is $self if you extend the parser which makes them methods and everything is nice and clean from there on...). The problem with this approach is that not the XML::Parser object is the one which is passed to the underlying implementation but rather the XML::Parser::Expat object. So we inherit from that.

FUNCTION DOCUMENTATION

new($)

This gives you a new object for a parser.

get_result($)
