It is useful for writing SAX Parsers so that you don't have to constantly update the line numbers in a hash reference on the object you pass to set_document_locator(). See the source code for XML::SAX::PurePerl for a usage example. =head1 API There is only 1 method: C. Simply pass it a list of closures that when called will return the PublicId, the SystemId, the LineNumber and the ColumnNumber, respectively. The closures are passed a single parameter, the key being requested. But you're free to ignore that. =cut
