The Net::HL7::Connection object represents the tcp connection to the HL7 message broker. The Connection has only two useful methods (apart from the constructor), send and close. The 'send' method takes a Net::HL7::Request as argument, and returns a Net::HL7::Response. The send method can be used more than once, before the connection is closed.
The Connection object holds the following fields:
The prefix to be sent to the HL7 server to initiate the message. Defaults to \013.
End of message signal for HL7 server. Defaults to \034\015.
The following methods are available:
Creates a connection to a HL7 server, or returns undef when a connection could not be established.are:
Sends a Net::HL7::Request object over this connection.
Close the connection.
