Catman...r::pica(3pm)

💖 Catmandu::Exporter::Breaker::Parser::pica(3pm) 💖

okay bestie, gather round, because this one is short and sweet and we're gonna read it together in like twelve seconds. it's a User Contributed Perl Documentation page, section 3pm, so it's living its little Perl-module life in the manual, and it's here to explain one very specific job. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

Catmandu::Exporter::Breaker::Parser::pica — it's the handler for PICA+ format, no cap. that's the whole name, that's the whole vibe. 🦋

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so this Catmandu::Breaker handler breaks PICA+ format. that's its whole main character moment. 💅

each path is built out of these pieces, in this order:

1. a PICA tag
2. optionally, the occurrence — and it goes in brackets
3. then the subfield code

and this path format? it equals the format used by PICA::Path, and by Catmandu Fix methods such as Catmandu::Fix::pica_map. so if you already know those, congrats, you already know this. iykyk. ✨

there's also this bit, and i'm giving it to you exactly as the page does, because the page said it and i'm not out here inventing lore:

C</> and the occurrence, followed by C<$> and the subfield code.

like, that's the path shape, periodt. 🫶
