Object::eBay::Boolean - Represents a boolean return value
# assuming that $item is an Object::eBay::Item object
my $private = $item->seller->is_feedback_private();
# In string context, yields 'true' or 'false'
print "Is the feedback private? $private\n";
# In boolean context, yields 1 or 0
if ($private) {
print "Feedback is private\n";
}
else {
print "Feedback is public\n";
}
Many of eBay's API calls return boolean (true/false) values. An Object::eBay::Boolean object represents this boolean return value in a context-aware way. In boolean context, the value is simply a boolean value as expected. In string context, the value is eBay's literal 'true' or 'false' value.
A class method that returns a new Object::eBay::Boolean object representing true.
A class method that returns a new Object::eBay::Boolean object representing false.
This method implements the boolean context. Namely
if ( $x->as_boolean() ) { ... }
is the same as
if ($x) { ... }
This method implements the string context. Namely
print "Example: " . $x->as_string() . "\n";
is the same as
print "Example: $x\n";
If an Object::eBay::Boolean object is constructed with a value other than 'true' or 'false', this exception is thrown. Seeing this exception most likely indicates an error (or change) in eBay's XML response.
Object::eBay::Boolean requires no configuration files or environment variables.
None known.
