NAME

Validate::SPF::Parser - SPF v1 parser implementation

VERSION

version 0.005

SYNOPSIS

    use Validate::SPF::Parser;

    $parser = Validate::SPF::Parser->new;
    $ast = $parser->parse( 'v=spf1 a include:_spf.example.com ~all' );

    unless ( $ast ) {
        # fail
        print "Error: " . $parser->error->{code} . ": " . $parser->error->{text} . "\n";
    }
    else {
        # ok
        ...
    }

METHODS

new

Creates an instance of SPF parser.

    my $parser = Validate::SPF::Parser->new;

parse

Builds an abstract syntax tree (AST) for given text representation of SPF.

    my $ast = $parser->parse( 'v=spf1 ~all' );

Returns an undef if error occured. See "error" for details.

raise_error

Raises a parser error.

    $parser->raise_error( $error_code, $context, @extra );
    $parser->raise_error( 'E_FOO', 'context line', qw( bar baz ) );

Arguments are:

$error_code

Error code. If code does not exist in error table it will be replaced with "E_DEFAULT".

$context

Context line.

@extra

Extra parameters for error text.

error

Returns last error occured as HashRef.

    $parser->error;

Here is an example

    {

BUILD PARSER

In cases of Parser.yp was modified you should re-build this module. Ensure you have Parse::Yapp distribution installed.

In root directory:

    $ yapp -s -m Validate::SPF::Parser -o lib/Validate/SPF/Parser.pm -t Parser.pm.skel Parser.yp

Ensure the lib/Validate/SPF/Parser.pm saved without tab symbols and has unix line endings.
