OLE::Storage::Handler - Handle functions for OLE::Storage::Var


NAME

OLE::Storage::Handler - Handle functions for OLE::Storage::Var

$Revision: 1.1.1.1 $ $Date: 1998/02/25 21:13:00 $


SYNOPSIS

use OLE::Storage::Var;

$Var = new Var;

$Handle = $Var -> handle();

Methods will be described below. But be aware, that this package is a little bit likely to be removed in future. Actually you should not need to deal with it at all.


DESCRIPTION

OLE::Storage::Handler is the interface used by OLE::Storage::Var. The purpose was to allow the installation of new Property types easily and even at runtime. An example of how this could look like can be found in ``lls''. Anyway, this all looks pretty superfluous to me, and therefore might be removed some nice day.

\&sub == $Var -> add ($from, $fromstr||0, $to, \&sub [,$par])

$data = $Var -> convert ($from, $to, \$buf, \$o)

\&sub == $Var -> func ($from, $to [,$Sub [,$par]])

\&sub == $Var -> code ($from, $to [,$Sub])

$par = $Var -> par ($from, $to [,$par])

$typestr = $Var -> typestr ($type [,$typestr])
