The following module was proposed for inclusion in the Module List:
modid: Text::Quote
DSLIP: bdpOp
description: Quotes strings so perl can eval them correct
userid: YVES (Yves Orton)
chapterid: 11 (String_Lang_Text_Proc)
communities:
Perlmonks
similar:
rationale:
Many modules generate perl code (Data::Dumper Data::Dump to name
just two) this module knows how to correctly quote strings for this
purpose. In many ways I see it the opposite of Text::Balanced. Where
Text::Balanced can extract quoted structures from strings, this
module does the opposite.
Features:
1. quote_best -- determines the quoting symbol that results in the
least backslashes in the text 2. quote_key -- knows which hash keys
need quotes 3. quote -- can take an arbitrary scalar can quote it
using a variety of means, including transforming it into a different
representation (such as converting a binary string into a pack("H*")
statement). 4. quote_regex -- knows how to correctly quote a qr// or
other regex pattern.
Derives from code contained in Data::Dump and Data::Dumper I wrote
this while developing Data::BFDump (Which im about to make a
namespace request for as well. :-)
