Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist * Package name : libperl6-form-perl Version : 0.04 Upstream Author : Damian Conway <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * URL : http://www.cpan.org/modules/by-module/Perl6/ * License : (GPL, LGPL, BSD, MIT/X, etc.) Description : Implements the Perl 6 'form' built-in
Formats are Perl 5's mechanism for creating text templates with fixed-width fields. Those fields are then filled in using values from prespecified package variables. . Unlike Perl 5, Perl 6 doesn't have a format keyword. Or the associated built-in formatting mechanism. Instead it has a Form.pm module. And a form function. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.5-shmate Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US
