NAME

Slackware::Slackget::Network::Backend::XML - XML backend for slack-get network protocol

VERSION

Version 0.9.0

SYNOPSIS

This module implements the XML backend for slack-get (sg_daemon, slack-get and more generally all Perl written parts of the slack-get project).

You should not use this module directly but you should read this documentation ;-)

This backend is a low-level one, it means that it needs access to the data structure of the Slackware::Slackget::Network::Message object it will encode (or decode but it's less critical in the decoding process). A bad idea is to encode the message with another backend which make the data structure unreadable by this one, before calling this XML backend (the Base64 backend for example)...

You should *always* remember this fact in your development. If backend_encode() cannot access to the data structure you can expect some funny behaviors...

DEBUG

This module is affected by the envirronement variable SG_DAEMON_DEBUG. If it's set to a true value, it will output some debug messages.

CONSTRUCTOR

FUNCTIONS

All methods return a Slackware::Slackget::Network::Message (Slackware::Slackget::Network::Message) object, and if the remote slack-getd return some data they are accessibles via the data() accessor of the Slackware::Slackget::Network::Message object.
