Stanza - Container for holding data parsed from stanza files.
# Instantiate or clone a copy of a stanza.
#
my $theStanza = new Stanza('Stanza Name') ;
# Add a datum to a Stanza.
#
$theStanza->add('newDatum', 'value') ;
# Fetch or store an item in a Stanza.
#
my $theOldValue = $theStanza->item('newDatum') ;
$theStanza->item('newDatum', 'newValue') ;
# Merge the contents of two stanzas.
#
$theNewStanza->merge($theOldStanza) ;
# Get/set the name of the stanza.
#
$theStanza->name() ;
$theStanza->name('newName') ;
# Get the order in which data were added to the stanza.
#
foreach ($theStanza->order())
{
... ;
} ;
The Stanza class provides a syntax free container for holding stanza datum/value pairs. As a consequence, StanzaFile formatting must be done in the classes using the Stanza class, not by the Stanza class or sub-classes thereof.
