Constants
The following URIs are exported as constants, to avoid typing in the same long URIs each time again:
XMLNS, SCHEMA1999, SCHEMA2000, SCHEMA2001, and SCHEMA2001i.
Packingpack_id($ns, $id)
Translates the two arguments into one compact string representation of the node id.
example:
print pack_id 'http://my-ns', 'my-id';
# shows: http://my-ns#my-id
pack_type( [$ns], $localname )
Translates the arguments into one compact string representation of the node type. When the $ns is
not present, "undef", or an empty string, then no namespace is presumed, and no curly braces part
made.
example:
print pack_type 'http://my-ns', 'my-type';
# shows: {http://my-ns}my-type
print pack_type 'my-type';
print pack_type undef, 'my-type';
print pack_type '', 'my-type';
# all three show: my-type
unpack_id($string)
Returns a LIST of two elements: the name-space and the id, as included in the $string. That $string
must be compatible with the result of pack_id().
unpack_type($string)
Returns a LIST of two elements: the name-space and the localname, as included in the $string. That
$string must be compatible with the result of pack_type(). When no name-space is present, an empty
string is used.
Otheradd_duration( $duration, [$time] )
[1.44] Add the $duration to the $time (defaults to 'now') This is an expensive operation: in many
cases the duration2secs() produces useful results as well.
example:
my $now = time;
my $deadline = add_duration 'P1M', $now; # deadline in 1 month
duration2secs($duration)
[1.44] Translate any format into seconds. This is an example of a valid duration: "-PT1M30.5S"
Average month and year lengths are used. If you need more precise calculations, then use
add_duration().
even_elements(LIST)
Returns the even-numbered elements from the LIST.
odd_elements(LIST)
Returns the odd-numbered elements from the LIST.
type_of_node($node)
Translate an XML::LibXML::Node into a packed type.
