NAME

       Search::Dict, look - search for key in dictionary file

SYNOPSIS

	   use Search::Dict;
	   look *FILEHANDLE, $key, $dict, $fold;

	   use Search::Dict;
	   look *FILEHANDLE, $params;

DESCRIPTION

       Sets file position in FILEHANDLE to be first line greater than or equal (stringwise) to $key.  Returns the new file position, or -1 if an
       error occurs.

       The flags specify dictionary order and case folding:

       If $dict is true, search by dictionary order (ignore anything but word characters and whitespace).  The default is honour all characters.

       If $fold is true, ignore case.  The default is to honour case.

       If there are only three arguments and the third argument is a hash reference, the keys of that hash can have values "dict", "fold", and
       "comp" or "xfrm" (see below), and their correponding values will be used as the parameters.

       If a comparison subroutine (comp) is defined, it must return less than zero, zero, or greater than zero, if the first comparand is less
       than, equal, or greater than the second comparand.

       If a transformation subroutine (xfrm) is defined, its value is used to transform the lines read from the filehandle before their compari-
       son.

NAME

       Text::PDF::Dict - PDF Dictionaries and Streams. Inherits from PDF::Objind

INSTANCE VARIABLES

       There are various special instance variables which are used to look after, particularly, streams. Each begins with a space:

       stream Holds the stream contents for output

       streamfile
	      Holds the stream contents in an external file rather than in memory. This is not the same as a PDF file stream. The data is stored
	      in its unfiltered form.

       streamloc
	      If both ' stream' and ' streamfile' are empty, this indicates where in the source PDF the stream starts.

METHODS

       $d->outobjdeep($fh)

       Outputs the contents of the dictionary to a PDF file. This is a recursive call.

       It also outputs a stream if the dictionary has a stream element. If this occurs then this method will calculate the length of the stream
       and insert it into the stream's dictionary.

       $d->read_stream($force_memory)

       Reads in a stream from a PDF file. If the stream is greater than "PDF::Dict::mincache" (defaults to 32768) bytes to be stored, then the
       default action is to create a file for it somewhere and to use that file as a data cache. If $force_memory is set, this caching will not
       occur and the data will all be stored in the $self->{' stream'} variable.

       $d->val

       Returns the dictionary, which is itself.

       $d->copy($inpdf, $res, $unique, $outpdf, %opts)

       Copies an object. See Text::PDF::Objind::Copy() for details
