=head1 NAME

LedgerSMB  The Base class for many LedgerSMB objects, including DBObject.

=head1 SYNOPSIS

This module creates a basic request handler with utility functions available
in database objects (LedgerSMB::DBObject)

=head1 METHODS

=over

=item new ()

This method creates a new base request instance. It also validates the 
session/user credentials, as appropriate for the run mode.  Finally, it sets up 
the database connections for the user.

=item date_to_number (user => $LedgerSMB::User, date => $string);

This function takes the date in the format provided and returns a numeric 
string in YYMMDD format.  This may be moved to User in the future.

=item debug (file => $path);

This dumps the current object to the file if that is defined and otherwise to 
standard output.

=item escape (string => $string);

This function returns the current string escaped using %hexhex notation.

=item unescape (string => $string);

This function returns the $string encoded using %hexhex using ordinary notation.

=item format_amount (user => $LedgerSMB::User::hash, amount => $string, precision => $integer, neg_format => (-|DRCR));

The function takes a monetary amount and formats it according to the user 
preferences, the negative format (- or DR/CR).  Note that it may move to
LedgerSMB::User at some point in the future.

=item parse_amount (user => $LedgerSMB::User::hash, amount => $variable);

If $amount is a Bigfloat, it is returned as is.  If it is a string, it is 
parsed according to the user preferences stored in the LedgerSMB::User object.

=item is_blank (name => $string)

This function returns true if $self->{$string} only consists of whitespace
characters or is an empty string.

=item is_run_mode ('(cli|cgi|mod_perl)')

This function returns 1 if the run mode is what is specified.  Otherwise
returns 0.

=item is_allowed_role({allowed_roles => @role_names})

This function returns 1 if the user's roles include any of the roles in
@role_names.  Currently it returns 1 when this is not found as well but when 
role permissions are introduced, this will change to 0.

=item num_text_rows (string => $string, cols => $number, max => $number);

This function determines the likely number of rows needed to hold text in a 
textbox.  It returns either that number or max, which ever is lower.

=item merge ($hashref, keys => @list, index => $number);

This command merges the $hashref into the current object.  If keys are 
specified, only those keys are used.  Otherwise all keys are merged.

If an index is specified, the merged keys are given a form of 
"$key" . "_$index", otherwise the key is used on both sides.

=item redirect (msg => $string)

This function redirects to the script and argument set determined by 
$self->{callback}, and if this is not set, goes to an info screen and prints
$msg.

=item redo_rows (fields => \@list, count => $integer, [index => $string);

This function is undergoing serious redesign at the moment.  If index is 
defined, that field is used for ordering the rows.  If not, runningnumber is 
used.  Behavior is not defined when index points to a field containing 
non-numbers.

=item set (@attrs)

Copies the given key=>vars to $self. Allows for finer control of 
merging hashes into self.

=item remove_cgi_globals()

Removes all elements starting with a . because these elements conflict with the
ability to hide the entire structure for things like CSV lookups.
