<b>Payroll.pm</b><br>
<br>
The Payroll module's new method will call Payroll::XML::Parser modules
to change the XML input into the Perl data object (Payroll::XML::Data) that
the countries can then work with. The process() method will then call the
proper country module passing in the data object and the output object/hash.
The resulting object is the XML module Payroll::XML::Output. Calling the
generate() method will create the output XML document. Pass in a list
of supported countries to the Parser.<br>
<br>
<b>methods</b><br>
<br>
PayrollObject new()<br>
string process(string => $data, file => $file, outFile => $outputFile)<br>
string will take precedence over file, <br>
if outFile is given it will try to output to a file of that name and
the return string will be undef if error or 1 for success<br>
if no outputFile is given the return string will be the output<br>
<br>
string errorMessage()<br>
string didErrorOccur()<br>
<br>
<b>variables</b><br>
periods = hash of daily, monthly, etc<br>
Countries = hash of US #eventually this should check the Perl Tree (maybe
an ls) and gather all installed Countries<br>
