NAME
Biblio::COUNTER::Processor::Atomize - break a COUNTER report into itsy pieces
SYNOPSIS
use Biblio::COUNTER::Processor::Atomize; $processor = Biblio::COUNTER::Processor::Atomize->new; $report = $processor->run($file_or_filehandle);
DESCRIPTION
Biblio::COUNTER::Processor::Atomize breaks a COUNTER report into tiny pieces (figuratively speaking) and executes a callback for each valid usage number it finds. The callback function should look something like this: sub my_callback { my %data = @_; $title = $data{title}; $count = $data{count}; $metric = $data{metric}; $period = $data{period}; # etc. } The following elements may appear in the hash passed to the callback function: code The short code that indicates the type of the report (e.g., "JR1" or "DB3"). file The name of the file containing the report. Set to "-" if processing standard input. processor The Biblio::COUNTER::Processor::Atomize instance. report The instance of the appropriate subclass of Biblio::COUNTER::Report period A string of the form YYYY-mm denoting the period in question. metric The type of event counted ("requests", "sessions", "searches", or "turnaways"). count The count itself. The callback is not executed for a blank or invalid count. platform The platform on which the resource was provided. title The resource title. publisher The resource's publisher. May be the empty string. print_issn (journal reports only) The journal's print ISSN. online_issn (journal reports only) The journal's online ISSN. isbn (book reports only) The book's ISBN.
PUBLIC METHODS
new(%args) $foo = Biblio::COUNTER::Processor::Atomize->new; %args is a list of (key, value) pairs. The only key that means anything is callback; the value associated with it is a reference to the desired callback function. The desired callback function prints (to standard output) a single tab-delimited line for each datum, with a header. Each line of output has the following elements, in the order listed: code file platform period metric count title publisher print_issn (journal reports only) online_issn (journal reports only) isbn (book reports only) run($file) $report = $processor->run($what); Process the given report. $what may be a file handle, the name of a file, or an instance of (a subclass of) Biblio::COUNTER::Report.
