METHODS AND ARGUMENTS eds2xdd($filename, [$encoding]) Here, the [] indicate an optional parameter. Returns the EDS' content as XML string on success or undef on error in file contents.

Do not add a prefix to $encoding, such as '<' or '<:'. eds2xdd_string($string) Returns the EDS string as XML string GIT REPOSITORY http://github.com/epl-viz/Convert-EDS-XDD SEE ALSO EPL-Viz - Visualization for Ethernet POWERLINK AUTHOR Ahmad Fatoum , http://a3f.at COPYRIGHT AND LICENSE Copyright (C) 2017 Ahmad Fatoum This library is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the same terms as Perl itself.
