The following module was proposed for inclusion in the Module List:
modid: Data::SearchReplace
DSLIP: bdphp
description: regex search/replace in complex data structs
userid: YXES (Stephen D. Wells)
chapterid: 6 (Data_Type_Utilities)

rationale:
Data::SearchReplace - Working on complex data structures, this pure
Perl module peforms search and replace functions for each value
within the structure. It is accessible using a simple attribute call
such as:
use Data::SearchReplace qw(sr); sr({SEARCH=>'foo', REPLACE=>'bar'},
\$complex_var);
or OO...
$sr = Data::SearchReplace->new( {SEARCH=>'foo',REPLACE=>'bar'});
$sr->sr(\$complex_var);
You can (of course) pass a full regex as well.
sr({REGEX => 's/(\w+).*/$1/g'}, \$complex_var);
With the use of templates (ie Template-Toolkit and HTML::Template)
on the rise and the fact that they utilize complex data structures
the usefulness of such a function goes up dramatically. Many times
there are situations where you might to need to escape a character
or alter that data just before it is sent to a template module and
this function makes it easy to do that in one line.
