Data::Secs2 is a Perl module to pack, unpack, format, transform from Perl data SEMI E5-94 nested data.

SYNOPSIS

#####
# Subroutine interface
#
use Data::Secs2 qw(arrayify config listify neuterify numberify perlify
perl_typify secsify secs_elementify stringify textify transify);

@array = arrayify($ref, @options);

$old_value = config( $option );
$old_value = config( $option => $new_value);

$body = secs_elementify($format, $cells, @options);

@secs_obj = listify(@vars);

@secs_obj = neuterify($binary_secs, @options);

@vars = perlify(@secs_obj, @options);

$ref = perl_typify(@array, @options);

$ascii_secs = secsify( @secs_obj, @options);
$binary_secs = secsify( @secs_obj, type => binary);

$string = stringify(@arg, [@options]);

@secs_obj = transify($acsii_secs, @options);

#####
# Class, Object interface
#
# For class interface, use Data::Secs2 instead of $self
# use Data::Secs2;
#
$secs2 = Data::Secs2 # uses built-in config object

$secs2 = new Data::Secs2( @options );

@array = secs2->arrayify( $ref, @options );

$old_value = secs2->secs_config( $option);
$old_value = secs2->secs_config( $option => $new_value);

$body = secs2->secs_elementify($format, $cells, @options);

@secs_obj = secs2->listify(@vars, @options);

@secs_obj = secs2->neuterify($binary_secs, @options);

@vars = secs2->perlify(@secs_obj, @options);

$ref = secs2->perl_typify(@array, @options);

$ascii_secs = secs2->secsify( @secs_obj, @options);
$binary_secs = secs2->secsify( @secs_obj, type => binary);

$body = secs2->stringify( @arg );

@secs_obj = secs2->transify($acsii_secs, @options);

Generally, if a subroutine will process a list of options, @options, that subroutine will also process an array reference, @options, [@options], or hash reference, %options, {@options}. If a subroutine will process an array reference, @options, [@options], that subroutine will also process a hash reference, %options, {@options}. See the description for a subroutine for details and exceptions.
