MAB2::...er::RAW(3pm)

💖 NAME 💖

MAB2::Parser::RAW — it's a parser for MAB2 RAW format, bestie, and it's literally the whole point of this page 💅

(also hi, you're reading the MAB2::Parser::RAW(3pm) page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation, iykyk 🎀)

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

okay so MAB2::Parser::RAW is a parser for raw MAB2 records. that's it, that's the vibe. 🦋

here's the tea though: MAB2::Parser::RAW expects UTF-8 encoded files as input. if that's not what you're serving, then instead provide a filehandle that has a specified I/O layer. no cap.

use MAB2::Parser::RAW;

my $parser = MAB2::Parser::RAW->new( $filename );

while ( my $record_hash = $parser->next() ) {
    # do something
}

🌸 Arguments 🌸

• "file" — path to the file with MAB2 Band records 📁
• "fh" — an open filehandle for the file with MAB2 Band records 📂

---

👑 METHODS 👑

🌈 new($filename | $filehandle)

this is the constructor, bestie — hand it either a $filename or a $filehandle and it's giving brand new parser energy ✨

🫶 next()

reads the next record from the MAB2 input stream, and returns a Perl hash. one at a time, like a little snack 🍓

🧚 _decode($record)

deserialize a raw MAB2 record into an ARRAY of ARRAYs. iconic nested-array behaviour, periodt 💜
