I seem to recall an issue, last week, of whether adverbs can be attached to
quoting operators. One solution to the question of interpolation is to make
it user-customizable, and then throw in some currying to keep life
interesting:
my $email_address = qq([EMAIL PROTECTED]) : interpolates( :yes('$'), :no('@') );
There's probably a better syntax for defining what actually interpolates.
Anyway, whatever the syntax, it should then be possible to create my own
quoting operator with exactly the properties I want:
my &email := &qq.assuming( : interpolates( :yes('$'), :no('@') ) );
and then
my $email_address = email([EMAIL PROTECTED]);
This could also be implemented as a macro, but that shouldn't be necessary.
A good, spicy, adverbial curry should be sufficient.
Dave.
