=head1 NAME
Parse::DebControl - Easy OO parsing of debian control-like files
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use Parse::DebControl
$parser = new Parse::DebControl;
$data = $parser->parse_mem($control_data, $options);
$data = $parser->parse_file('./debian/control', $options);
$data = $parser->parse_web($url, $options);
$writer = new Parse::DebControl;
$string = $writer->write_mem($singlestanza);
$string = $writer->write_mem([$stanza1, $stanza2]);
$writer->write_file($filename, $singlestanza, $options);
$writer->write_file($filename, [$stanza1, $stanza2], $options);
$writer->write_file($handle, $singlestanza, $options);
$writer->write_file($handle, [$stanza1, $stanza2], $options);
$parser->DEBUG();
=head1 DESCRIPTION
Parse::DebControl is an easy OO way to parse debian control files and
other colon separated key-value pairs. It's specifically designed
to handle the format used in Debian control files, template files, and
the cache files used by dpkg.
For basic format information see:
http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-controlfields.html#s-controlsyntax
This module does not actually do any intelligence with the file content
(because there are a lot of files in this format), but merely handles
the format. It can handle simple control files, or files hundreds of lines
long efficiently and easily.
=head2 Class Methods
=over 4
=item * C<new()>
=item * C<new(I<$debug>)>
Returns a new Parse::DebControl object. If a true parameter I<$debug> is
passed in, it turns on debugging, similar to a call to C<DEBUG()> (see below);
=back
=over 4
=item * C<parse_file($control_filename,I<$options>)>
Takes a filename as a scalar and an optional hashref of options (see below).
Will parse as much as it can, warning (if C<DEBUG>ing is turned on) on
parsing errors.
Returns an array of hashrefs, containing the data in the control file, split up
by stanza. Stanzas are deliniated by newlines, and multi-line fields are
expressed as such post-parsing. Single periods are treated as special extra
newline deliniators, per convention. Whitespace is also stripped off of lines
as to make it less-easy to make mistakes with hand-written conf files).
The options hashref can take parameters as follows. Setting the string to true
enables the option.
useTieIxHash - Instead of an array of regular hashrefs, uses Tie::IxHash-
based hashrefs
discardCase - Remove all case items from keys (not values)
stripComments - Remove all commented lines in standard #comment format.
Literal #'s are represented by ##. For instance
Hello there #this is a comment
Hello there, I like ##CCCCCC as a grey.
The first is a comment, the second is a literal "#".
verbMultiLine - Keep the description AS IS, and no not collapse leading
spaces or dots as newlines. This also keeps whitespace from being
stripped off the end of lines.
tryGzip - Attempt to expand the data chunk with gzip first. If the text is
already expanded (ie: plain text), parsing will continue normally.
This could optionally be turned on for all items in the future, but
it is off by default so we don't have to scrub over all the text for
performance reasons.
singleBlock - Only parse the first block of data and return it. This is
useful when you have possible "junk" data after the metadata.
strict - Tries to parse obeying the strict rules for real debian control files.
This will force comment stripping for debian/control (must start line) and for
other files will check if a field may span multiple lines.
allowUnknownFields - In strict mode, allow unknown fields.
type - If the strict option is chosen, then this parameter defines what format
we have. Available formats is:
- debian/control
- DEBIAN/control
- .dsc
- .changes

=item * C<parse_mem($control_data, I<$options>)>
Similar to C<parse_file>, except takes data as a scalar. Returns the same
array of hashrefs as C<parse_file>. The options hashref is the same as
C<parse_file> as well; see above.
=back
=over 4
=item * C<parse_web($url, I<$options>)>
Similar to the other parse_* functions, this pulls down a control file from
the web and attempts to parse it. For options and return values, see C<parse_file>,
above
=back
=over 4
=item * C<write_file($filename, $data, I<$options>)>
=item * C<write_file($handle, $data)>
=item * C<write_file($filename, [$data1, $data2, $data3], I<$options>)>
=item * C<write_file($handle, [$data, $data2, $data3])>
This function takes a filename or a handle and writes the data out. The
data can be given as a single hashref or as an arrayref of hashrefs. It
will then write it out in a format that it can parse. The order is dependent
on your hash sorting order. If you care, use Tie::IxHash. Remember for
reading back in, the module doesn't care.
The I<$options> hashref can contain one of the following two items:
addNewline - At the end of the last stanza, add an additional newline.
appendFile - (default) Write to the end of the file
clobberFile - Overwrite the file given.
gzip - Compress the data with gzip before writing
Since you determine the mode of your filehandle, passing it along with an
options hashref obviously won't do anything; rather, it is ignored.
The I<addNewline> option solves a situation where if you are writing
stanzas to a file in a loop (such as logging with this module), then
the data will be streamed together, and won't parse back in correctly.
It is possible that this is the behavior that you want (if you wanted to write
one key at a time), so it is optional.
This function returns the number of bytes written to the file, undef
otherwise.

=item * C<write_mem($data)>
=item * C<write_mem([$data1,$data2,$data3])>;
This function works similarly to the C<write_file> method, except it returns
the control structure as a scalar, instead of writing it to a file. There
is no I<%options> for this file (yet);
=back
=over 4
=item * C<DEBUG()>
Turns on debugging. Calling it with no parameter or a true parameter turns
on verbose C<warn()>ings. Calling it with a false parameter turns it off.
It is useful for nailing down any format or internal problems.

=head1 BUGS
The module will let you parse otherwise illegal key-value pairs and pairs with spaces. Badly formed stanzas will do things like overwrite duplicate keys, etc. This is your problem.
As of 1.10, the module uses advanced regexp's to figure out about comments. If the tests fail, then stripComments won't work on your earlier perl version (should be fine on 5.6.0+)
=head1 TODO
Change the name over to the Debian:: namespace, probably as Debian::ControlFormat. This will happen as soon as the project that uses this module reaches stability, and we can do some minor tweaks.
