WWW::I...::Entry(3pm)

✨ WWW::IndexParser::Entry ✨

okay so this is WWW::IndexParser::Entry, and it lives in section 3pm of the User Contributed Perl Documentation 🎀. it's a whole class, bestie — a lil object that represents one item in a directory listing. very demure, very mindful, very "one entry, one vibe" 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

WWW::IndexParser::Entry — the object that represents an item in a directory 🦋

---

⭐ SYNOPSIS ⭐

ok so here's the whole thing in action, no cap:

my @files = WWW::IndexParser->new('http://www.james.rcpt.to/misc/');
foreach my $file (@files) {
  print $file->url;
}

like… look at her go 🥹 loop through the files, print the url, slay.

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so here's the tea, and it's important: WWW::IndexParser::Entry is not used directly 🚫. you don't new her up yourself, you don't call her from your own code like she's your little errand girl. she's the class of items that WWW::IndexParser hands back to you when it successfully parses an auto index from a web server 🌈.

so like — she's not the one doing the work, she's the result. the glow-up at the end of a successful parse. main character, but in a supporting role, iykyk 💖

🎀 METHODS 🎀

these are the methods, periodt. the original docs are keeping it mysterious and just listing the names, so here's the full roster, no more, no less 👑

• filename — it's a method, bestie 📄
• url — also a method 🦋
• size — yep, a method too 📏
• size_units — a method, and the units part is doing a lot of work in that name 💅
• type — a method, and that's the whole list 🍓

no seriously, that's the entire list. five of them. the manpage does not elaborate, so i will not elaborate either. we respect the source material in this house 🙈
