XML::SA...tLocator(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation XML::SA...tLocator(3) NAME XML::SAX::DocumentLocator - Helper class for document locators SYNOPSIS my $locator = XML::SAX::DocumentLocator->new( sub { $object->get_public_id }, sub { $object->get_system_id }, sub { $reader->current_line }, sub { $reader->current_column }, sub { $reader->get_encoding }, sub { $reader->get_xml_version }, ); DESCRIPTION This module gives you a tied hash reference that calls the specified clo- sures when asked for PublicId, SystemId, LineNumber and ColumnNumber. It is useful for writing SAX Parsers so that you don't have to constantly update the line numbers in a hash reference on the object you pass to set_document_locator(). See the source code for XML::SAX::PurePerl for a usage example. API There is only 1 method: "new". Simply pass it a list of closures that when called will return the PublicId, the SystemId, the LineNumber, the Column- Number, the Encoding and the XMLVersion respectively. The closures are passed a single parameter, the key being requested. But you're free to ignore that. perl v5.44.0 2019-06-13 XML::SA...tLocator(3)
