The following module was proposed for inclusion in the Module List:
modid: Text::Starfish
DSLIP: adphp
description: Yet another embedded Perl processor
userid: VLADO (Vlado Keselj)
chapterid: 11 (String_Lang_Text_Proc)
communities:
similar:
Text::Template Text::Templar Text:iPerl Parse::ePerl HTML::EP
rationale:
Text:: prefix should be obvious.
Starfish: Perl code is embedded into a text, so the text is
equivalent to a shellfish containing pearls. A starfish comes by and
eats the shellfish... Unlike a natural starfish, this starfish is
interested in pearls and does not normally touch most of the
surrounding meat.
Uniqueness of approach: There are similar modules. The idea is
similar to php: Embed Perl code inside the text, execute it is some
way, so that the output is interleaved with the text. This approach
is unique because it is a small Perl module (not large, and no
binaries), it works with any kind of textual file (text, programs,
HTML, Makefiles), and the most important feature is that by default
it updates the source file by updating the code outputs and the code
remains in the file.
