Gedcom::Family(3pm)

💖 Gedcom::Family — the manual, but make it make sense ✨

okay so bestie, you found Gedcom::Family(3pm) in the User Contributed Perl Documentation and you're like "what is this" — don't worry, I got you. No cap, this one's short and sweet. 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

Gedcom::Family — a module to manipulate GEDCOM families 💅

Version 1.22 — 15th November 2019 🗓️

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

use Gedcom::Family;

my @rel = $f->husband;
my @rel = $f->wife;
my @rel = $f->parents;
my $nch = $f->number_of_children;
my @rel = $f->children;
my @rel = $f->boys;
my @rel = $f->girls;
$f->add_husband($i);
$f->add_wife($i);
$f->add_child($i);

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

A lil selection of subroutines to handle families in a GEDCOM file. Family drama, but in data form. 💀

Derived from Gedcom::Record. (iconic lineage, honestly 👑)

🌈 HASH MEMBERS 🌈

None. Nada. Zero. Empty. She said "no hash members today" 💅

💜 METHODS 💜

None yet. Like, truly none. Moving on bestie 🫶

👑 Individual functions

my @rel = $f->husband;
my @rel = $f->wife;
my @rel = $f->parents;
my @rel = $f->children;
my @rel = $f->boys;
my @rel = $f->girls;

Return a list of individuals from family $f. 🍓

The way that every single one of these functions — even the ones with a singular name like husband() — returns a list of individuals holding that relation in $f. Yes, even the singular ones. Not one, a list. Periodt. ✨

🔥 number_of_children

my $nch = $f->number_of_children;

Return the number of children in the family, as specified or from counting. Either way, you get the number, bestie. 💖

🎀 Add functions

$f->add_husband($i);
$f->add_wife($i);
$f->add_child($i);

Add the specified individual to the family in the appropriate position. 📍

These functions also take care of the references from the individual back to the family — like, they do the mutual-follow thing for you 🥰 — and are to be preferred to the low level addition functions which do not do this.

ngl, use these ones. The low level ones skimp on the back-references and you'll be out here with one-sided relationships. Use the add_* functions, iykyk 💅

---

and that's the whole vibe, babe — Gedcom::Family(3pm), perl v5.36.0, dated 2022-10-16. that's a wrap, go manipulate some families 🌸💖✨
