NAME

       Text::RecordParser::Object - read delimited text files as objects

SYNOPSIS

         my $o = $p->fetchrow_object;
         my $name = $o->name;

METHOD

   new
       Just call "fetchrow_object" on a Text::RecordParser object to instantiate an object.

DESCRIPTION

       This module extends the idea of how you interact with delimited text files, allowing you to enforce field
       names and identify field aliases easily.  That is, if you are using the "fetchrow_hashref" method to read
       each line, you may misspell the hash key and introduce a bug in your code.  With this module, Perl will
       throw an error if you attempt to read a field not defined in the file's headers.  Additionally, any
       defined field aliases will be created as additional accessor methods.

       As much as I like the full encapsulation of inside-out objects (e.g., as described in _Perl Best
       Practies_ by Damian Conway and provided by Class::Std), I couldn't figure out a way to dynamically create
       the class at runtime.  Besides, I figure this interface is only for those who want to use the overhead of
       objects to enforce policy.  If you use this module and still access the hash underneath the object, I
       can't really help you.
