VERSION

version 0.900

SYNOPSIS

    use SecondLife::DataTypes;
    my $region = SecondLife::Region->new( name=>"Dew Drop", x=>236544, y=>242944 );

    # Or from a string, for instance, in a PSGI handler:

    use Plack::Request;
    
    sub psgi_handler {
        my $req = Plack::Request->new( shift );
        my $region = SecondLife::Region->new( $req->header('X-SecondLife-Region') );
        my $res = $req->new_response( 200 );
        $res->content_type('text/plain');
        $res->body(
            "This request was made from the ".$region->name." region of SecondLife\n".
            "Which is located at the global coordinates ".$region->x.", ".$region->y."\n".
            "This would be expressed as $region normally."
        );
        return $res->finalize;
    }

DESCRIPTION

This parses and emits Second Life region identifiers, which are made up of a name and coordinates of the region on the grid. These can be turned into the global coordinates for the top left of the region by multiplying by 256.

CONSTRUCTOR

our method new($class: Str :$name, Int :$x, Int :$y)

our method new($class: Str $region_str ) returns SecondLife::Region

The constructor either takes a single argument, a region string you want to parse in the format: Region Name (X, Y) Or a hash with the attributes you want to have started initialized.

ATTRIBUTES

has Str $.name is rw

The name of the region

has Int $.x is rw

has Int $.y is rw

The X and Y coordinates of the region on the grid.

METHODS

our method stringify() returns Str

Returns the region and coordinates as a string in the same form that Second Life does. Evalauting the object as a string will also produce this result.
