AEDesc is a Perl package that encapsulates an AppleEvent Descriptor. It uses the OO methods of Perl5 to make building and parsing data structures easier.
Create a new AppleEvent descriptor. Sets the type and data to TYPE (default is 'null'), and HANDLE or DATA (default is empty).
$desc = new AEDesc("aevt", $event);
Return the type from the AEDesc structure. If TYPE is present, make it the new type.
Return the data from the AEDesc structure. If HANDLE is present, make it the new data.
Return the data of the AEDesc structure in a smartly unpacked way.
AEKeyDesc is a Perl package that encapsulates an AppleEvent keyword. It uses the OO methods of Perl5 to make building and parsing data structures easier.
Creates a new AppleEvent keyword descriptor. Sets the keyword, type and data to KEY (default is zero), TYPE (default is 'null'), and HANDLE or DATA (default is empty).
Return the keyword of the AEKeyDesc structure. If KEY is present, make it the new keyword.
Return the type from the AEKeyDesc structure. If TYPE is present, make it the new type.
Return the data from the AEKeyDesc structure. If HANDLE is present, make it the new data.
Return the contents in a smartly unpacked way.
