NAME

Babble - EXPERIMENTAL Babel-like for perl

VERSION

0.090008

SYNOPSIS

If you're here for help dealing with changes in perl's signatures syntax, look at App::sigfix.

If you're here to try out Babble itself, you'll want to do

  use Babble::Filter qw(::CorePluginName External::Plugin::Name);

to have it rewrite your code on the fly, or

  perl -MBabble::Filter=::CorePluginName,External::Plugin::Name  \
    -0777 -pe babble lib/MyFile.pm >lib/MyFile.pmc

to rewrite for shipping.

Current core plugins are ::CoreSignatures, ::State, ::DefinedOr, ::PostfixDeref, ::SubstituteAndReturn (s///r), ::Ellipsis, ::PackageBlock, ::PackageVersion, and ::SKT (which is a start on rewriting Syntax::Keyword::Try). For an example of an external plugin, see Method::Signatures::PP.

Not for 'normal' use but still interesting, ::Sigify attempts to convert simple @_ unrolls into signatures - best used on its own, followed by applying App::sigfix if you need the 5.22-5.26 oldsignatures style.
