BSON::String - String data for BSON
use BSON 'encode';
my $str1 = BSON::String->new('Jack Reacher');
my $str2 = BSON::String->new('55');
my $str3 = BSON::String->new('-1234.7654');
my $bson = encode( { a => $str1, b => $str2, c => $str3 } );
Since Perl does not distinguish between numbers and strings, this module is provides an explicit string type for BSON's string element. It's very simple and does not implement any operator overloading other than "".
Main constructor which takes a single parameter - the string.
my $string = BSON::String->new('Hello, there!');
print "$string\n"; # Prints 'Hello, there!'
if ( "$string" gt "abcde" ) {
# This will work
...;
}
Returns the value of the string.
Only the "" operator is overloaded. You won't be able to perform string comparison on a BSON::String instance.
