Text::Replace - replace variables from a hash
Software Version Description for Text::Replace - replace variables from a hash Revision: F Version: 0.07 Date: 2004/05/11 Prepared for: General Public Prepared by: SoftwareDiamonds.com E<lt>support@SoftwareDiamonds.comE<gt> Copyright: copyright 2003 Software Diamonds Classification: NONE
This paragraph identifies and provides an overview of the released files.
This release, identified in 3.2, is a collection of Perl modules that extend the capabilities of the Perl language.
The Text::Replace program module is simple and plain. This is intentional. The Text::Replace mimics the built-in Perl double quote, '"', literal scalar that replaces Perl scalar variables named with a leading '$'. The Text::Replace program module foregoes expressiveness for convenience and performance. Like a movie score, it stays in the background. There is no large manual thicker than the Bible with tricks and tips and gyrations to learn and to distract. It is amazing how many times, just a simple double quote literal replacement in a small text string or even a large text string gets the job done.
Text::Replace
Does Text::Replace solve all variable replacement, template problems? Definitely not. There is no capabilities for inserting graphs, text wrap plug-ins, GD interface. If an application needs something this sophisticated, there are many fine template program modules in CPAN such as the highly rated Template program module.

Changes are as follows:
At 02:44 AM 6/14/2003 +0200, Max Maischein wrote: A second thing that I would like you to reconsider is the naming of "Test::TestUtil" respectively "Test::Tech" - neither of those is descriptive of what the routines actually do or what the module implements. I would recommend renaming them to something closer to your other modules, maybe "Test::SVDMaker::Util" and "Test::SVDMaker::Tech", as some routines do not seem to be specific to the Test::-suite but rather general (format_array_table). Some parts (the "scrub" routines) might even better live in another module namespace, "Test::Util::ScrubData" or something like that.
Broke away the template and table routines from Test::TestUtil created this module Test::STD::STDutil.
Use the new modules from the break-up of the "File::FileUtil" module
Broke up the "Test::STD::STDutil" module and moved it to more appropriate places in the high level directory tree.
Change the test so that test support program modules resides in distribution directory tlib directory instead of the lib directory. Because they are no longer in the lib directory, test support files will not be installed as a pre-condition for the test of this module. The test of this module will precede immediately. The test support files in the tlib directory will vanish after the installtion.
Recreate distribution file with Archive::TarGzip 0.02 that uses mode 777 for directories instead of 666. Started to get emails from Unix installers about untar not being able to change to a directory with mode of 666.
Add the module 'Data::Secs2' in the tlib that provides 'stringify' support for the 'Test::Tech' module.
The lastest build of Test::STDmaker expects the test library in the same directory as the test script. Coordiated with the lastest Test::STDmaker by moving the test library from tlib to t/Text, the same directory as the test script and deleting the test library File::TestPath program module, adding the Data::SecsPack and Data::Startup to the test library.
Test::STDmaker
File::TestPath
Data::SecsPack
Data::Startup
Added Description, Subroutines, See Also headers. Clean up the Quality Assurance and Notes.
Broken POD link cause big problems with pod2html. Fixed and run throught podchecker.
Had the wrong name in POD NAME section. Fixed.
This installation requires that the installation site has the Perl programming language installed. There are no other additional requirements or tailoring needed of configurations files, adaptation data or other software needed for this installation particular to any installation site.
There are no related documents needed for the installation and test of this release.
Instructions for installation, installation tests and installation support are as follows:
To installed the release file, use the CPAN module pr PPM module in the Perl release or the INSTALL.PL script at the following web site:
http://packages.SoftwareDiamonds.com
Follow the instructions for the the chosen installation software.
If all else fails, the file may be manually installed. Enter one of the following repositories in a web browser:
Right click on 'Text-Replace-0.07.tar.gz' and download to a temporary installation directory. Enter the following where $make is 'nmake' for microsoft windows; otherwise 'make'.
gunzip Text-Replace-0.07.tar.gz tar -xf Text-Replace-0.07.tar perl Makefile.PL $make test $make install
On Microsoft operating system, nmake, tar, and gunzip must be in the exeuction path. If tar and gunzip are not install, download and install unxutils from
http://packages.softwarediamonds.com
None.
Most Perl installation software will run the following test script(s) as part of the installation:
t/Text/Replace.t
If there are installation problems or questions with the installation contact
There is still much work needed to ensure the quality of this module as follows:
State the functional requirements for each method including not only the GO paths but also what to expect for the NOGO paths
The following are useful acronyms:
extension for a Perl demo script file
extension for a Perl Library Module
extension for a Perl test script file
To install Text::Replace, copy and paste the appropriate command in to your terminal.
cpanm
cpanm Text::Replace
CPAN shell
perl -MCPAN -e shell install Text::Replace
