Methods

$entry = new Convert::yEnc::Entry \%ybegin

Creates and returns a new Convert::yEnc::Entry object. %ybegin is a hash of key => value pairs from a =ybegin line.

$entry = load Convert::yEnc::Entry $fields

Creates and returns a new Convert::yEnc::Entry object. $fields is the portion of a line from an RC database following the file name.

$ok = $entry->ybegin(\%ybegin)

$ok = $entry->ypart(\%ypart)

$ok = $entry->yend(\%yend)

Updates $entry according to the contents of a =ybegin, =ypart or =yend control line.

The argument is a reference to a hash of key => value pairs from the control line.

Returns true iff the control line is consistent with the current state of $entry.
