Erlang::Parser - Erlang source code parser

VERSION

This document describes version 0.6 of Erlang::Parser released 2016-06-20.

SYNOPSIS

        use Erlang::Parser;

        # Parse the code found in DATA; return all root-level nodes.
        my @nodes = Erlang::Parser->parse(\*DATA);

        # Each object in @nodes implements the Erlang::Parser::Node role, which
        # is the function 'print'. It takes one argument, the filehandle to
        # pretty-print to.
        $_->print(*STDOUT) for @nodes;

        # Use the accessors of each node type to get at the innards:
        my ($directive, $def) = Erlang::Parser->parse(<<ERL);
                -export([my_fun/2]).
                my_fun(X, Y) -> X + Y.
        ERL

        # Have fun!
