Bio::B...ne2ref(3pm)

💖 Bio::Biblio::IO::medline2ref 💖

okay bestie, so this is the page for Bio::Biblio::IO::medline2ref from the User Contributed Perl Documentation, and no cap it's giving converter energy. Sit down, grab a strawberry 🍓, we're doing this.

---

✨ VERSION ✨

version 1.70 — that's the one, periodt.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

# to be written

yeah. it's empty. the author said "to be written" and honestly? iconic. we respect the vision 💅

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

# to be written

same vibe, same void, we move.

---

👑 METHODS 👑

• new
• convert

that's the whole public roster, besties. short and slay.

---

🧚 INTERNAL METHODS 🧚

these are the behind-the-scenes girlies, the ones doing the actual work while the public methods take the credit. main character energy for the internals only 💜

• _load_instance
• _new_instance — okay so this one loads a module (and when we say module we mean a real module name, like 'Bio::Biblio::MedlineJournalArticle'), calls the new() method on it, and hands back whatever instance new() gave us. that's it. that's the whole job 🫶
• _convert_date — lowkey go read the OpenBQS specification (http://www.ebi.ac.uk/~senger/openbqs/) if you wanna know how a date is supposed to be coded. and bestie, real talk: TBD — this can be improved. checking is missing, timezones are missing, converting to UTC is missing... it's giving "we'll fix it later" 😭. also note (and this matters) that this routine does not convert 'medline_date' — that one just gets stored in a separate attribute with no conversion at all.
• _convert_personal_name — so $person is a hash with a person's attributes, and what we need to do is create and return a Bio::Biblio::Person object. glow up achieved ✨
• _convert_journal_article — takes the journal-article-related attributes out of $article, converts them into $result, and at the end calls _convert_article (which is shared with the book article, they're literally besties).
• _convert_book_article — takes the book-article-related attributes out of $article, converts them into $result, and at the end calls _convert_article (yes, the same one, shared with journal article — we love a reusable function 💖).
• _convert_article — takes the article-related attributes from $source and converts them into $article. and here's the tea: these attributes are the same for both journal and book articles.
• _convert_providers — takes a ref-array of providers (they can be persons or organisations, no judgement either way), and returns an array of converted providers. 🌈

💌 FEEDBACK 💌

📬 Mailing lists

user feedback is an integral part of the evolution of this and other Bioperl modules — like, genuinely, your comments and suggestions are wanted. please send them preferably to the Bioperl mailing list. your participation is much appreciated 🥹

bioperl-l@bioperl.org                  - General discussion
http://bioperl.org/wiki/Mailing_lists  - About the mailing lists

🫂 Support

please direct usage questions or support issues to the mailing list:

bioperl-l@bioperl.org

rather than to the module maintainer directly. why? because there are so many experienced and responsive experts who will be able to look at the problem and quickly address it — way faster than one single human. and please, if at all possible, include a thorough description of the problem with code and data examples. the more context the better, fr fr 🔥

🐛 Reporting bugs

report bugs to the Bioperl bug tracking system so we can keep track of the bugs and their resolution. bug reports can be submitted via the web:

okay so final sign-off: this page is from perl v5.36.0, dated 2023-02-14, and the manual entry is Bio::B...ne2ref(3pm) (the truncated little nickname it goes by up in the header 💅). take care of her, she's doing her best 🎀🦋💖
