Description

       This class is used to generate data for Data Matrix barcodes. It is primarily useful as a data source for
       barcode modules that do rendering, such as HTML::Barcode::DataMatrix.  You can easily make a version that
       renders an image, PDF, or anything else.

Methods

new(%attributes)
       Instantiate a new Barcode::DataMatrix object. The %attributes hash can take any of the other attributes
       listed below.

   barcode($text)
       Generate barcode data representing the $text string.  This returns an array ref of rows in the data
       matrix, each containing array refs of cells within that row. The cells are true and false values that
       represent filled or empty squares.

       This can throw an exception if it's unable to generate the barcode data.
