# PAR::StrippedPARL::Base(3pm)

Base class for the PARL data packages

## NAME

PAR::StrippedPARL::Base - Base class for the PARL data packages

## SYNOPSIS

```
  # Please use one of the siblings of this class instead.
  use base 'PAR::StrippedPARL::Base';
```

## DESCRIPTION

This class is internal to PAR. Do not use it outside of PAR.

This class is basically just a container for a static binary PAR loader which doesn't include the PAR code like the *parl* or *parl.exe* you are used to. If you're really curious, I'll tell you it is just a copy of the *myldr/static* (or *myldr/static.exe*) file.

The data is appended during the `"make"` phase of the PAR build process.

If the binary data isn't appended during the build process, the two class methods will return the empty list.

## CLASS METHODS

### write\_parl

Takes a file name as argument. Writes the raw binary data in the package to the specified file and embeds the core modules to produce a complete PAR loader (*parl*).

Returns true on success or the empty list on failure.

### get\_raw

Returns the binary data attached to the data package.

Returns the empty list on failure.

### write\_raw

Takes a file name as argument and writes the binary data to the file.

Returns true on success and the empty list on failure.

## SUBCLASSING

Subclasses need to implement the `"_data_pos"` class method which returns the value of `"tell DATA"` as it was after the class was loaded.
