package Test::Parser::Sysctl; =head1 NAME Test::Parser::Sysctl - Perl module to parse output from sysctl. =head1 SYNOPSIS use Test::Parser::Sysctl; my $parser = new Test::Parser::Sysctl; $parser->parse($text); =head1 DESCRIPTION This module transforms sysctl output into a hash that can be used to generate XML. =head1 FUNCTIONS Also see L for functions available from the base class. =cut use strict; use warnings; use Test::Parser; use XML::Simple; @Test::Parser::Sysctl::ISA = qw(Test::Parser); use base 'Test::Parser'; use fields qw( data ); use vars qw( %FIELDS $AUTOLOAD $VERSION ); our $VERSION = '1.4'; =head2 new() Creates a new Test::Parser::Sysctl instance. Also calls the Test::Parser base class' new() routine. Takes no arguments. =cut sub new { my $class = shift; my Test::Parser::Sysctl $self = fields::new($class); $self->SUPER::new(); $self->name('sysctl'); $self->type('standards'); # # Sysctl data in an array. # $self->{data} = []; return $self; } =head3 data() Returns a hash representation of the sysctl data. =cut sub data { my $self = shift; if (@_) { $self->{data} = @_; } return {parameters => {parameter => $self->{data}}}; } =head3 Override of Test::Parser's default parse_line() routine to make it able to parse sysctl output. =cut sub parse_line { my $self = shift; my $line = shift; my @i = split /\=/, $line; # # Trim any leading and trailing whitespaces. # $i[0] =~ s/^\s+//; $i[0] =~ s/\s+$//; $i[1] =~ s/^\s+//; $i[1] =~ s/\s+$//; push @{$self->{data}}, {variable => $i[0], value => $i[1]}; return 1; } =head3 to_xml() Returns sysctl data transformed into XML. =cut sub to_xml { my $self = shift; my $outfile = shift; return XMLout({parameter => $self->{data}}, RootName => 'parameters'); } 1; __END__ =head1 AUTHOR Mark Wong =head1 COPYRIGHT Copyright (C) 2006 Mark Wong & Open Source Development Labs, Inc.
