Nearly all methods can return undef.

Extends "DESCRIPTION" in User::Identity::Item.

METHODS

Extends "METHODS" in User::Identity::Item.

Constructors

Extends "Constructors" in User::Identity::Item.

Create a new system. You can specify a name as first argument, or in the OPTION list. Without a specific name, the organization is used as name. 

 -Option     --Defined in          --Default
  description  User::Identity::Item  undef
  hostname                           'localhost'
  location                           undef
  name         User::Identity::Item  <required>
  os                                 undef
  parent       User::Identity::Item  undef
  password                           undef
  username                           undef
The hostname of the described system. It is preferred to use full system names, not abbreviations. For instance, you can better use "www.tux.aq" than "www" to avoid confusion.
The NICKNAME of a location which is defined for the same user. You can also specify a User::Identity::Location OBJECT.
The name of the operating system which is run on the server. It is advised to use the names as used by Perl's $^O variable. See the perlvar man-page for this variable, and perlport for the possible values.
The password to be used to login. This password must be un-encoded: directly usable. Be warned that storing un-encoded passwords is a high security list.
The username to be used to login to this host.

Attributes

$obj->description()
Inherited, see "Attributes" in User::Identity::Item
$obj->hostname()
$obj->location()
Returns the object which describes to which location this system relates. The location may be used to find the name of the organization involved, or to create a signature. If no location is specified, undef is returned.
$obj->name( [$newname] )

DIAGNOSTICS

The first argument is an object, but not of a class which extends User::Identity::Collection.
Either the specified $type does not exist, or that module named $class returns compilation errors. If the type as specified in the warning is not the name of a package, you specified a nickname which was not defined. Maybe you forgot the 'require' the package which defines the nickname.
The $class did compile, but it was not possible to create an object of that class using the options you specified.
If you add a collection, it must either by a collection object or a list of options which can be used to create a collection object. In the latter case, the type of collection must be specified.
The collection with $name does not exist and can not be created.
