Just before reading this intro, it's a good idea to have a look at the short (and commented) examples provided in the distribution.Īnother general introduction to this Perl OpenDocument Connector has been published in The Perl Review (issue #3.1, dec. The present introduction, as well as the OpenOffice::OODoc main chapter, should be read in order to get the big picture before any attempt to dig in the detailed documentation. The reference manual is a set of OpenOffice::OODoc::xxx separate documents, where xxx is the codename of a particular functional area. This introductory notice is intended to allow the user to understand the general principles and to learn some basic features of the OODoc module without browsing the whole reference manual.
