The Net-HL7 package is a simple Perl API for creating, parsing sending and receiving HL7 messages. To create an empty HL7 message object, do: use Net::HL7::Message; my $msg = new Net::HL7::Message(); and add segments like: my $msh = new Net::HL7::Seg...

The Net::HL7::Daemon class provides a Daemon, roughly based on the well known HTTP::Daemon class. The daemon wraps IO::Socket::INET so that incoming connections are returned as Net::HL7::Daemon::Client objects. Other than that the Daemon class doesn'...

The Net::HL7::Request simply extends the Net::HL7::Message class....

In general one needn't create an instance of the Net::HL7::Message class directly, but use the Net::HL7::Request class. When adding segments, note that the segment index starts at 0, so to get the first segment, segment, do "$msg->getSegmentByIndex(0...

The Net::HL7::Segment class represents segments of the HL7 message....

The Net::HL7::Response class extends the Net::HL7::Message class. In general, it is not necessary to create instances of this class directly, since it will be created by the Connection or Daemon when necessary....

The Net::HL7::Connection object represents the tcp connection to the HL7 message broker. The Connection has only two useful methods (apart from the constructor), send and close. The 'send' method takes a Net::HL7::Request as argument, and returns a N...

The Net::HL7::Segments::MSH is an implementation of the Net::HL7::Segment class. The MSH segment is a bit different from other segments, in that the first field is the field separator after the segment name. Other fields thus start counting from 2! T...

Convenience module implementing an acknowledgement (ACK) message. This can be used in HL7 servers to create an acknowledgement for an incoming message....
