=head1 NAME
Net::DBus::Binding::Value - Strongly typed data value
=head1 SYNOPSIS
# Import the convenience functions
use Net::DBus qw(:typing);
# Call a method with passing an int32
$object->doit(dint32("3"));
=head1 DESCRIPTION
This module provides a simple wrapper around a raw Perl value,
associating an explicit DBus type with the value. This is used
in cases where a client is communicating with a server which does
not provide introspection data, but for which the basic data types
are not sufficient. This class should not be used directly, rather
the convenience functions in L<Net::DBus> be called.
=head1 METHODS
=over 4
=cut
package Net::DBus::Binding::Value;
use strict;
use warnings;
=item my $value = Net::DBus::Binding::Value->new($type, $value);
Creates a wrapper for the perl value C<$value> marking it as having
the dbus data type C<$type>. It is not necessary to call this method
directly, instead the data typing methods in the L<Net::DBus> object
should be used.
