Hi,
Variable/Parameter conventions can start religious wars, so I would like
to offer module authors a way to be a little oecumenical, so they can
easily offer named parameters that follow the one_true_perl_convention or
even the baddlyNamedCamelCaseConvention.
I have looked for a module that would do this, but could not find anything
on CPAN.
So I wrote it.
Does it make sense? Did I miss a module that would do it? Does the name
make sense (other possibilities I can think of would be Params::ChangeName
Params::ConvertName)? Any other comment?
SYNOPSIS
use Params::Normalize qw( perl_style_params);
...
my_sub( $arg, camelCasedOption => 'fooBar',
hideousIMHO => 1,
badBADBad => 'foo'
);
...
sub my_sub
{ my( $arg, @opts)= @_;
my %opts= perl_style_params( @opts);
# %opts is now:
# camel_case_option => 'fooBar',
# hideous_IMHO => 1,
# bad_BAD_bad => 'foo'
...
