NAME

       Mixin::Linewise::Readers - get linewise readers for strings and filenames

VERSION

       version 0.108

SYNOPSIS

         package Your::Pkg;
         use Mixin::Linewise::Readers -readers;

         sub read_handle {
           my ($self, $handle) = @_;

           LINE: while (my $line = $handle->getline) {
             next LINE if $line =~ /^#/;

             print "non-comment: $line";
           }
         }

       Then:

         use Your::Pkg;

         Your::Pkg->read_file($filename);

         Your::Pkg->read_string($string);

         Your::Pkg->read_handle($fh);

EXPORTS

       "read_file" and "read_string" are exported by default.  Either can be requested
       individually, or renamed.  They are generated by Sub::Exporter, so consult its
       documentation for more information.

       Both can be generated with the option "method" which requests that a method other than
       "read_handle" is called with the created IO::Handle.

       If given a "binmode" option, any "read_file" type functions will use that as an IO layer,
       otherwise, the default is "utf8_strict".

         use Mixin::Linewise::Readers -readers => { binmode => "raw" };
         use Mixin::Linewise::Readers -readers => { binmode => "encoding(iso-8859-1)" };

   read_file
         Your::Pkg->read_file($filename);
         Your::Pkg->read_file(\%options, $filename);

       If generated, the "read_file" export attempts to open the named file for reading, and then
       calls "read_handle" on the opened handle.

       An optional hash reference may be passed before $filename with options.  The only valid
       option currently is "binmode", which overrides any default set from "use" or the built-in
       "utf8_strict".

       Any arguments after $filename are passed along after to "read_handle".

   read_string
         Your::Pkg->read_string($string);
         Your::Pkg->read_string(\%option, $string);

       If generated, the "read_string" creates a handle on the given string, and then calls
       "read_handle" on the opened handle.  Because handles on strings must be octet-oriented,
       the string must contain octets.  It will be opened in the default binmode established by
       importing.  (See "EXPORTS", above.)

       Any arguments after $string are passed along after to "read_handle".

       Like "read_file", this method can take a leading hashref with one valid argument:
       "binmode".
