NAME
XML::Writer::String - Capture output from XML::Writer.
SYNOPSIS
use XML::Writer;
use XML::Writer::String;
my $s = XML::Writer::String->new();
my $writer = new XML::Writer( OUTPUT => $s );
$writer->xmlDecl();
$writer->startTag('root');
$writer->endTag();
$writer->end();
print $s->value();
DESCRIPTION
This module implements a bare-bones class specifically for the purpose of capturing data
from the XML::Writer module. XML::Writer expects an IO::Handle object and writes XML data
to the specified object (or STDOUT) via it's print() method. This module simulates such
an object for the specific purpose of providing the required print() method.
It is recommended that $writer->end() is called prior to calling $s->value() to check for
well-formedness.
METHODS
XML::Writer::String provides three methods, "new()", "print()" and "value()":
"$s = XML::Writer::String-"new([list]);>
new() returns a new String handle.
"$count = $s-"print([list]);>
print() appends concatenated list data and returns number of items in list.
"$val = $s-"value([list]);>
value() returns the current content of the object as a scalar. It can also be used to
initialize/overwrite the current content with concatenated list data.
NOTES
This module is designed for the specific purpose of capturing the output of XML::Writer
objects, as described in this document. It does not inherit form IO::Handle. For an
alternative solution look at IO::Scalar, IO::Lines, IO::String or Tie::Handle::Scalar.
