NAME

Net::ACL::Match::Scalar - Class matching a scalar data element

SYNOPSIS

    use Net::ACL::Match::Scalar;
    # Construction
    my $match = new Net::ACL::Match::Scalar([42,1]);
    # Accessor Methods
    $rc = $match->match(@data); # same as: $data[1] eq 42 ? ACL_MATCH : ACL_NOMATCH;

DESCRIPTION

This module is a very simple array element testing utility to allow simple value matching with Net::ACL::Rule.

CONSTRUCTOR

new() - create a new Net::ACL::Match::Scalar object

    my $match = new Net::ACL::Match::Scalar(42,1);

This is the constructor for Net::ACL::Match::Scalar objects. It returns a reference to the newly created object.

It takes one argument. If the argument is a array reference with one element, the element will be matched with the first argument to the match method.

If an array reference has more then one element, the second element should be the argument number to be matched in the match method.

Otherwise, the value it self will be matched with the first argument of the match method.

ACCESSOR METHODS

match(): This function matches the arguments according to the arguments of the constructor and returns either "ACL_MATCH" or "ACL_NOMATCH" as exported by Net::ACL::Rule with ":rc".
