[SOLVED] Perl how to get values from bless object request data

Perl how to get values from bless object request data

I am using RPC::XML and parsing request xml using below code and request xml.

use RPC::XML::ParserFactory 'XML::Parser';
my $P = RPC::XML::ParserFactory->new();
my $parse_data = $P->parse($xml_data); 
print Dumper($parse_data);

Request xml:

<methodCall>
<methodName>get_topic</methodName>
<params>
<param>
<value>
<string>163397</string>
</value>
</param>
<param>
<value>
<i4>0</i4>
</value>
</param>
<param>
<value>
<i4>19</i4>
</value>
</param>
<param>
<value>
<string>ANN</string>
</value>
</param>
</params>
</methodCall>

I have get object data:

bless( {
'name' => 'get_topic',
'args' => [
            bless( do{\\(my $o = '163397')}, 'RPC::XML::string' ),
            bless( do{\\(my $o = '0')}, 'RPC::XML::i4' ),
            bless( do{\\(my $o = '19')}, 'RPC::XML::i4' ),
            bless( do{\\(my $o = 'ANN')}, 'RPC::XML::string' )
          ]
}, 'RPC::XML::request' );

After I have done print Dumper($parse_data->args); and get below args object data:

bless( {

$VAR1 = [
         bless( do{\\(my $o = '163397')}, 'RPC::XML::string' ),
         bless( do{\\(my $o = '0')}, 'RPC::XML::i4' ),
         bless( do{\\(my $o = '19')}, 'RPC::XML::i4' ),
         bless( do{\\(my $o = 'ANN')}, 'RPC::XML::string' )
      ];

Now how to get values from this args object data? please help!

Solution

Untested, but according to the documentation this should work:

my $args = $parse_data->args;
for my $arg (@$args) {
   print $arg->type, ": ", $arg->value, "\n";
}

In particular read the Message Classes documentation which explains the methods of RPC::XML::request and Data Classes which explains RPC::XML::string and friends.
