textproc/p5-Text-BibTeX 0.91nb3 NetBSD

Text::BibTeX is a Perl library for reading, parsing, and processing BibTeX files. It is the Perl half of btOOL, a pair of libraries for dealing with BibTeX data; the C half, btparse, is needed to compile Text::BibTeX.

Text::BibTeX gives you access to the data at many different levels: you may work with BibTeX entries as simple "field -> string" mappings, or get at the original form of the data as a list of simple values (strings, macros, or numbers) pasted together. You can impose no restrictions on the allowed/expected entry types or fields, or you can use the structure defined by BibTeX 0.99's standard style files, or you can invent your own.
