NAME
       Mac::AETE::App - reads the Macintosh Apple event dictionary from an
       application.

SYNOPSIS
            use Mac::AETE::App;
            use Mac::AETE::Format::Dictionary;

            $app = App->new("My Application");
            $formatter = Dictionary->new;
            $app->setformat($formatter);
            $app->read;
            $app->write;

DESCRIPTION
       The App module simplifies reading the Apple event dictionary from an
       application.  It will launch the application if necessary to obtain the
       dictionary.

       Methods

       new       Example: ($name is the name of the application.)

                      use Mac::AETE::App;
                      use Mac::AETE::Format::Dictionary;

                      $app = App->new($aetehandle, $name);

       read      (Inherited from Mac::AETE::Parser.)

                 Reads the data contained in the AETE resource or handle.
                 Example:

                      $app->read;

       setformat
                 (Inherited from Mac::AETE::Parser.)

                 Sets the output formatter used during by the 'write'
                 subroutine. Example:

                      $formatter = Dictionary->new;
                      $app->setformat($formatter);

       copy      (Inherited from Mac::AETE::Parser.)

                 Copies all suites from one Parser object into another.
                 Example:

                      $aete2 = Parser->new($aetehandle2, $anothername);
                      $app->copy($aete2);

                 copies the suites from $aete2 into $aete.

       merge     (Inherited from Mac::AETE::Parser.)

                 Merges suites from one Parser object into another. Only the
                 suites that exist in both objects will be replaced. Example:

                      $aete3 = Parser->new($aetehandle2, $anothername);
                      $app->merge($aete3);

       write     (Inherited from Mac::AETE::Parser.)

                 Prints the contents of the AETE or AEUT resource using the
                 current formatter.

                      $app->write;
