NAME

       Ogg::Vorbis::Header::PurePerl - An object-oriented interface to Ogg Vorbis information and
       comment fields, implemented entirely in Perl.  Intended to be a drop in replacement for
       Ogg::Vobis::Header.

       Unlike Ogg::Vorbis::Header, this module will go ahead and fill in all of the information
       fields as soon as you construct the object.  In other words, the "new" and "load"
       constructors have identical behavior.

SYNOPSIS

               use Ogg::Vorbis::Header::PurePerl;
               my $ogg = Ogg::Vorbis::Header::PurePerl->new("song.ogg");
               while (my ($k, $v) = each %{$ogg->info}) {
                       print "$k: $v\n";
               }
               foreach my $com ($ogg->comment_tags) {
                       print "$com: $_\n" foreach $ogg->comment($com);
               }

DESCRIPTION

       This module is intended to be a drop in replacement for Ogg::Vorbis::Header, implemented
       entirely in Perl.  It provides an object-oriented interface to Ogg Vorbis information and
       comment fields.  (NOTE: This module currently supports only read operations).

CONSTRUCTORS

   "new ($filename)"
       Opens an Ogg Vorbis file, ensuring that it exists and is actually an Ogg Vorbis stream.
       This method does not actually read any of the information or comment fields, and closes
       the file immediately.

   "load ([$filename])"
       Opens an Ogg Vorbis file, ensuring that it exists and is actually an Ogg Vorbis stream,
       then loads the information and comment fields.  This method can also be used without a
       filename to load the information and fields of an already constructed instance.

INSTANCE METHODS

   "info ([$key])"
       Returns a hashref containing information about the Ogg Vorbis file from the file's
       information header.  Hash fields are: version, channels, rate, bitrate_upper,
       bitrate_nominal, bitrate_lower, bitrate_window, and length.  The bitrate_window value is
       not currently used by the vorbis codec, and will always be -1.

       The optional parameter, key, allows you to retrieve a single value from the object's hash.
       Returns "undef" if the key is not found.

   "comment_tags ()"
       Returns an array containing the key values for the comment fields.  These values can then
       be passed to "comment" to retrieve their values.

   "comment ($key)"
       Returns an array of comment values associated with the given key.

   "add_comments ($key, $value, [$key, $value, ...])"
       Unimplemented.

   "edit_comment ($key, $value, [$num])"
       Unimplemented.

   "delete_comment ($key, [$num])"
       Unimplemented.

   "clear_comments ([@keys])"
       Unimplemented.

   "write_vorbis ()"
       Unimplemented.

   "path ()"
       Returns the path/filename of the file the object represents.
