package XML::Filter::Tee; =head1 NAME XML::Filter::Tee - Send SAX events to multiple processor, with switching =head1 SYNOPSIS my $t = XML::Filter::Tee->new( { Handler => $h0 }, { Handler => $h1 }, { Handler => $h2 }, ... ); ## Altering the handlers list: $t->set_handlers( $h0, $h1, $h2, $h3 ); ## Controlling flow to a handler by number and by reference: $t->disable_handler( 0 ); $t->enable_handler( 0 ); $t->disable_handler( $h0 ); $t->enable_handler( $h0 ); ## Use in a SAX machine (though see L and ## L for a more convenient way to build a machine ## like this): my $m = Machine( [ Intake => "XML::Filter::Tee" => qw( A B ) ], [ A => ">>log.xml" ], [ B => \*OUTPUT ], ); =head1 DESCRIPTION XML::Filter::Tee is a SAX filter that passes each event it receives on to a list of downstream handlers. It's like L in that the events are not buffered; each event is sent first to the tap, and then to the branch (this is different from L, which buffers the events). Unlike L, it allows it's list of handlers to be reconfigured (via L) and it allows control over which handlers are allowed to receive events. These features are designed to make XML::Filter::Tee instances more useful with SAX machines, but they to add some overhead relative to XML::Filter::SAXT. The events are not copied, since they may be data structures that are difficult or impossibly to copy properly, like parts of a C-based DOM implementation. This means that the handlers must not alter the events or later handlers will see the alterations. =cut $VERSION = 0.1; use strict; use Carp; use XML::SAX::Base; use XML::SAX::EventMethodMaker qw( compile_methods sax_event_names ); =head1 METHODS =over =item new my $t = XML::Filter::Tee->new( { Handler => $h0 }, { Handler => $h1 }, { Handler => $h2 }, ... ); =cut sub new { my $proto = shift; my $self = bless {}, ref $proto || $proto; $self->{DisabledHandlers} = []; $self->set_handlers( @_ ); return $self; } =item set_handlers $t->set_handlers( $h0, $h1, $h2 ); $t->set_handlers( { Handler => $h0, }, { Handler => $h1, }, ); Replaces the current list of handlers with new ones.
