Busine...I::Spec(3pm)

🎀 Busine...I::Spec 🎀

okay bestie, gather round 💖 you're looking at Busine...I::Spec(3pm), which is User Contributed Perl Documentation — that's the family it runs with. Perl module energy, 3pm section, no cap.

---

✨ NAME ✨

Business::EDI::Spec — an object class for CSV-based U.N. EDI specifications. that's the whole vibe: one class, one job, CSV specs. slay.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

look how short this is. it's giving minimalist queen 👑

use Business::EDI::Spec;

my $spec = Business::EDI::Spec->new('segment');

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the lore 🫶 the CSV files originally came from edi4r, and they're shipped right inside Business::EDI as part of the package. what are they for? they define the many different messages, segments, data elements, composite data elements, and codelists that are part of a given version of the U.N. specification. iconic, honestly.

here's the little plot twist: the CSV spec files are composed differently for the different structures defined. so we have to parse them differently. no universal parser, we do it per-structure. periodt 💅

lowkey the whole module is just "every structure has its own little CSV dialect and we respect that."
