NAME

       Mixin::Linewise::Writers - get linewise writers for strings and filenames

VERSION

       version 0.104

SYNOPSIS

         package Your::Pkg;
         use Mixin::Linewise::Writers -writers;

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

           $handle->print("datum: $_\n") for @$data;
         }

       Then:

         use Your::Pkg;

         Your::Pkg->write_file($data, $filename);

         Your::Pkg->write_string($data, $string);

         Your::Pkg->write_handle($data, $fh);

EXPORTS

       "write_file" and "write_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
       "write_handle" is called with the created IO::Handle.

       If given a "binmode" option, any "write_file" type functions will use that as an IO layer,
       otherwise, the default is "encoding(UTF-8)".

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

   write_file
         Your::Pkg->write_file($data, $filename);
         Your::Pkg->write_file($data, $options, $filename);

       This method will try to open a new file with the given name.  It will then call
       "write_handle" with that 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
       "encoding(UTF-8)".

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

   write_string
         my $string = Your::Pkg->write_string($data);

       "write_string" will create a new handle on the given string, then call "write_handle" to
       write to that handle, and return the resulting string.  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 $data are passed along after to "write_handle".
