Acme::CPANModules::Parse::UnixShellCommandLine - List of modules that parse command-line like Unix shells
This document describes version 0.003 of Acme::CPANModules::Parse::UnixShellCommandLine (from Perl distribution Acme-CPANModules-Parse-UnixShellCommandLine), released on 2023-10-31.
Sometimes you need to parse a Unix shell command-line string, e.g. when you want to break it into "words".
In general I recommend Text::ParseWords as it is a core module. If you want a little more speed, try Parse::CommandLine::Regexp (see reference to benchmark in See Also).

Its parse_cmdline() function can break a command-line string into words. This function is geared for tab completion, so by default it also breaks on some other word-breaking characters like "=", "@", and so on. Probably not what you want generally, unless you are working with tab completion.

This core module can split string into words with customizable quoting character and support for escaping using backslash. Its shellwords() function is suitable for breaking command-line string into words.

An Acme::CPANModules::* module, like this module, contains just a list of module names that share a common characteristics. It is a way to categorize modules and document CPAN. See Acme::CPANModules for more details.
Aside from reading this Acme::CPANModules module's POD documentation, you can install all the listed modules (entries) using cpanm-cpanmodules script (from App::cpanm::cpanmodules distribution):
% cpanm-cpanmodules -n Parse::UnixShellCommandLine
Alternatively you can use the cpanmodules CLI (from App::cpanmodules distribution):
% cpanmodules ls-entries Parse::UnixShellCommandLine | cpanm -n
or Acme::CM::Get:
% perl -MAcme::CM::Get=Parse::UnixShellCommandLine -E'say $_->{module} for @{ $LIST->{entries} }' | cpanm -n
or directly:
% perl -MAcme::CPANModules::Parse::UnixShellCommandLine -E'say $_->{module} for @{ $Acme::CPANModules::Parse::UnixShellCommandLine::LIST->{entries} }' | cpanm -n
This Acme::CPANModules module also helps lcpan produce a more meaningful result for lcpan related-mods command when it comes to finding related modules for the modules listed in this Acme::CPANModules module. See App::lcpan::Cmd::related_mods for more details on how "related modules" are found.

To contribute, you can send patches by email/via RT, or send pull requests on GitHub.
Most of the time, you don't need to build the distribution yourself. You can simply modify the code, then test via:
% prove -l
If you want to build the distribution (e.g. to try to install it locally on your system), you can install Dist::Zilla, Dist::Zilla::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, Pod::Weaver::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, and sometimes one or two other Dist::Zilla- and/or Pod::Weaver plugins. Any additional steps required beyond that are considered a bug and can be reported to me.
