Boulder::String - Read and write tag/value data from a string.
#!/bin/perl
# Read a B<Stone> from stdin and create a string that can be
# passed to a dumb sub, which doesn't know about Stones.
use Boulder::Stream;
use Boulder::String;
my $stream = Boulder::Stream->newFh;
# read a stone from stdin
my $record = <$stream> );
print $stream $record;
}
Boulder::String provides access to Boulder IO hierarchical tag/value data. Stone objects printed to the tied string are appended to the string in Boulder format.
The new() method creates a new Boulder::String object. You must provide an input string and a reference to an output string. The input string may be empty.
Write the passed stone in Boulder IO format into $out_string.
