ONVIF:...nvelope(3pm)

🌸 ONVIF:...nvelope — the perl manual, but make it cute

okay bestie, welcome to the <pink>ONVIF:...nvelope</pink> page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation corner of the perl universe (that's the 3pm section, for all my perl-module girlies 💅). buckle up, we're reading a manpage and we're gonna understand it.

✨ NAME ✨

ONVIF::Media::Types::Envelope — that's the whole name, no notes, no last name, iconic.

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so basically? this is a Perl data type class for the XML Schema complexType called Envelope, and it comes from this namespace:

http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/

that's it, that's the vibe. it's a little perl wrapper holding hands with a SOAP envelope. no cap. 🫶

🎀 PROPERTIES 🎀

these are the properties you can reach, and the way you reach them is with get_PROPERTY / set_PROPERTY methods. yes, literally those method names, with the property name swapped in. periodt.

• Header — one of the properties! but here's the tea: the name of this property has been altered, because it didn't match perl's notion of variable/subroutine names. the altered name is what you use in perl code only — the XML output uses the original name. iykyk. 🙈
• Body — same situation, bestie! the name of this property has been altered too, again because it didn't match perl's notion of variable/subroutine names. the altered name lives in your perl code only, and the XML output goes back to using the original name.

🔥 METHODS 🔥

💫 new 💫

the constructor!! it's giving main character energy. the following data structure may be passed to new():

 { # ONVIF::Media::Types::Envelope
   Header =>  { # ONVIF::Media::Types::Header
   },
   Body =>  { # ONVIF::Media::Types::Body
   },
 },

look at that nesting. Envelope holding a Header and a Body, both of them empty hashes waiting for their moment. slay. 💜

Generated by SOAP::WSDL

like, the machine did it. we respect the machine. ✨

and that's the whole page, bestie — nothing skipped, nothing hidden, every single flag... okay there are no flags, but every property, note and hash got its moment on stage. 💖

quick reminder that the "altered name" thing is a real technical caveat: perl code sees the altered name, XML output sees the original. don't mix them up or the vibe check fails. 😭

perl v5.40.1 🌈 2026-02-01 🌈 ONVIF:...nvelope(3pm) — that's the version, the date, and the page name, right there in the footer, and we're shouting them out at the end like a proper outro. bye bestie, go write some SOAP. 🦋🎀🌸
