Object is a class for storing details about an object that is being gathered. It contains references to a number of other objects, and so should be flattened before being stored to disk, or passed to other programs.

Create a new ``root'' object. $rootnode should be a unique string which identifies the ``RootNode'' definition associated with the URL, $url should be either a string or a URI::URL object which contains the URL that the object represents.

The ``FILTER'' rootnode is a special case, which identifies objects which are being fetched for use purely by the filtering code.

Create a new object which is a child of the given parent.

$parent is a Object. $url is either a string or a URI::URL object.

Import the meta and management data from $obj2 into the structure of $obj1

Return the URL of the object.

Set a new URL for the object, but preserve other information.

Return the rootnode of the object.

Return the depth of the object.

Return the Harvest::Object::Headers object which encapsulates the protocol headers sent when this object was transfered.

Return the Harvest::Object::Manage object which contains management information for this object

Return the object which contains the metadata representation of this object.

Set the metadata representation of this object to that given in the $metadata variable

Return the string representation of the URL of the parent of this object

If $arg is set then set the filter attribute to the value of $arg. Returns the old (or current) value.

The filter attribute indicates whether the object is being fetched for a filter
