NAME

Acme::StringFormat - Smart interface to sprintf()

VERSION

This document describes Acme::StringFormat version 0.01

SYNOPSIS

    use Acme::StringFormat;

    # enable 'sprintf' operator in the scope

    say '[%s][%s]' % 'foo' % 'bar'; # => [foo][bar]

use Acme::StringFormat;

no Acme::StringFormat;

Disables the format operator in the rest of the scope;

printf warnings.

Too few format parameters or too many format arguments.

DEPENDENCIES

Perl 5.10.0 or later, and a C compiler.

BUGS AND LIMITATIONS

No bugs have been reported.

Please report any bugs or feature requests to bug-acme-stringformat@rt.cpan.org/, or through the web interface at http://rt.cpan.org/.
