NAME ThreatNet::Topic - An object representation of a ThreatNet channel topic DESCRIPTION ThreatNet is an evolving idea. This standalone module defines a topic format and an object to hold it. ThreatNet itself is not yet available. A proposal generally defining what it might be is available at: METHODS new $topic The "new" constructor takes a new ThreatNet topic string and creates an object that represents it. A ThreatNet topic should look like the following threatnet://host/path configuration That is, it should start with a 'threatnet' URI identifier in the same style as XML namespace URIs, containing at least the host and path components, following an arbitrary string most likely representing the configuration and rules of the channel, with a format defined by the protocol. Returns a new ThreatNet::Topic object or "undef" if the string is not a valid ThreatNet topic string. topic Accessor method that returns the Topic as a topic string. URI Accessor method that returns the protocol identifier as a URI object config Accessor method that returns the non-required protocol-specific part of the topic, which is assumed to hold the channel configuration.
