437
438While any BER data can be correctly encoded and decoded out of the box, it
439can be inconvenient to have to manually decode some values into a "better"
440format: for instance, SNMP TimeTicks values are decoded into the raw octet
441strings of their BER representation, which is quite hard to decode. With
442profiles, you can change which class/tag combinations map to which decoder
443function inside C<ber_decode> (and of course also which encoder functions
444are used in C<ber_encode>).
445
446This works by mapping specific class/tag combinations to an internal "ber
447type".
448
449The default profile supports the standard ASN.1 types, but no
450application-specific ones. This means that class/tag combinations not in
451the base set of ASN.1 are decoded into their raw octet strings.
452
453C<Convert::BER::XS> defines two profile variables you can use out of the box:
454
455=over
456
457=item C<$Convert::BER::XS::DEFAULT_PROFILE>
458
459This is the default profile, i.e. the profile that is used when no
460profile is specified for de-/encoding.
461
462You can modify it, but remember that this modifies the defaults for all
463callers that rely on the default profile.
464
465=item C<$Convert::BER::XS::SNMP_PROFILE>
466
467A profile with mappings for SNMP-specific application tags added. This is
468useful when de-/encoding SNMP data.
469
470Example:
471
472 $ber = ber_decode $data, $Convert::BER::XS::SNMP_PROFILE;
473
474=back
475
476=head2 The Convert::BER::XS::Profile class
477
478=over
479
480=item $profile = new Convert::BER::XS::Profile
481
482Create a new profile. The profile will be identical to the default
483profile.
484
485=item $profile->set ($class, $tag, $type)
486
487Sets the mapping for the given C<$class>/C<$tag> combination to C<$type>,
488which must be one of the C<BER_TYPE_*> constants.
489
490Note that currently, the mapping is stored in a flat array, so large
491values of C<$tag> will consume large amounts of memory.
492
493Example:
494
495 $profile = new Convert::BER::XS::Profile;
496 $profile->set (ASN_APPLICATION, SNMP_COUNTER32, BER_TYPE_INT);
497 $ber = ber_decode $data, $profile;
498
499=item $type = $profile->get ($class, $tag)
500
501Returns the BER type mapped to the given C<$class>/C<$tag> combination.
502
503=back
504
505=head2 BER TYPES
506
507This lists the predefined BER types - you can map any C<CLASS>/C<TAG>
508combination to any C<BER_TYPE_*>.
509
510=over
511
512=item C<BER_TYPE_BYTES>
513
514The raw octets of the value. This is the default type for unknown tags and
515de-/encodes the value as if it were an octet string, i.e. by copying the
516raw bytes.
517
518=item C<BER_TYPE_UTF8>
519
520Like C<BER_TYPE_BYTES>, but decodes the value as if it were a UTF-8 string
521(without validation!) and encodes a perl unicode string into a UTF-8 BER
522string.
523
524=item C<BER_TYPE_UCS2>
525
526Similar to C<BER_TYPE_UTF8>, but treats the BER value as UCS-2 encoded
527string.
528
529=item C<BER_TYPE_UCS4>
530
531Similar to C<BER_TYPE_UTF8>, but treats the BER value as UCS-4 encoded
532string.
533
534=item C<BER_TYPE_INT>
535
536Encodes and decodes a BER integer value to a perl integer scalar. This
537should correctly handle 64 bit signed and unsigned values.
538
539=item C<BER_TYPE_OID>
540
541Encodes and decodes an OBJECT IDENTIFIER into dotted form without leading
542dot, e.g. C<1.3.6.1.213>.
543
544=item C<BER_TYPE_RELOID>
545
546Same as C<BER_TYPE_OID> but uses relative object identifier
547encoding: ASN.1 has this hack of encoding the first two OID components
548into a single integer in a weird attempt to save an insignificant amount
549of space in an otherwise wasteful encoding, and relative OIDs are
550basically OIDs without this hack. The practical difference is that the
551second component of an OID can only have the values 1..40, while relative
552OIDs do not have this restriction.
553
554=item C<BER_TYPE_NULL>
555
556Decodes an C<ASN_NULL> value into C<undef>, and always encodes a
557C<ASN_NULL> type, regardless of the perl value.
558
559=item C<BER_TYPE_BOOL>
560
561Decodes an C<ASN_BOOLEAN> value into C<0> or C<1>, and encodes a perl
562boolean value into an C<ASN_BOOLEAN>.
563
564=item C<BER_TYPE_REAL>
565
566Decodes/encodes a BER real value. NOT IMPLEMENTED.
567
568=item C<BER_TYPE_IPADDRESS>
569
570Decodes/encodes a four byte string into an IPv4 dotted-quad address string
571in Perl. Given the obsolete nature of this type, this is a low-effort
572implementation that simply uses C<sprintf> and C<sscanf>-style conversion,
573so it won't handle all string forms supported by C<inet_aton> for example.
574
575=item C<BER_TYPE_CROAK>
576
577Always croaks when encountered during encoding or decoding - the
578default behaviour when encountering an unknown type is to treat it as
579C<BER_TYPE_BYTES>. When you don't want that but instead prefer a hard
580error for some types, then C<BER_TYPE_CROAK> is for you.

322 602
323This module does have a number of SNMPisms hardcoded, such as the SNMP 603This module can only en-/decode 64 bit signed and unsigned integers, and
324tags for Unsigned32 and so on. More configurability is needed, and, if 604only when your perl supports those.
325ever implemented, will come in a form similar to how L<JSON::XS> and 605
326L<CBOR::XS> respresent things, namely with an object-oriented interface. 606This module does not generally care about ranges, i.e. it will happily
607de-/encode 64 bit integers into an C<ASN_INTEGER> value, or a negative
608number into an C<SNMP_COUNTER64>.
609
610OBJECT IDENTIFIEERs cannot have unlimited length, although the limit is
611much larger than e.g. the one imposed by SNMP or other protocols,a nd is
612about 4kB.
613
614REAL values are not supported and will currently croak.
615
616This module has undergone little to no testing so far.

619
620This module is unlikely to work when the (officially discouraged) ithreads
621are in use.
