Net::DB...g::Value(3)

💅 NAME 💅

Net::DBus::Binding::Value — a strongly typed data value, bestie. Like, it's a little wrapper that says "hey, this Perl thing is totally this DBus type," and honestly? iconic.

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

okay so first you gotta import the convenience functions:

# Import the convenience functions
use Net::DBus qw(:typing);

then you can, like, actually call a method while passing an int32:

# Call a method with passing an int32
$object->doit(dint32("3"));

see? slay. 🫶

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so this module gives you a lil' wrapper around a raw Perl value, and it glues an explicit DBus type onto it. it's giving "i know what i am." 💅

when do you even need this? okay so picture this: your client is talking to a server that doesn't provide introspection data, and the basic data types just aren't enough. that's the moment. that's the vibe. ✨

lowkey important: this class should not be used directly. like, fr fr, don't. call the convenience functions in Net::DBus instead. iykyk. 🙈

🎀 METHODS 🎀

• my $value = Net::DBus::Binding::Value->new($type, $value); — creates a wrapper for the perl value $value, marking it as having the dbus data type $type. but ngl, you don't need to call this method directly — use the data typing methods in the Net::DBus object instead. main character energy is calling the right function. 👑
• my $raw = $value->value — returns the raw perl value wrapped by this object. the og. the real one. 🍓
• my $type = $value->type — returns the dbus data type this value is marked as having. its whole personality, basically. 🦋
