App::SimpleScan::Substitution - simple_scan variable substitution support
use App::SimpleScan::Substitution; # App::SimpleScan::Substitution->new() will create a new object # with an empty dictionary: any string passed to it will be returned # unchanged. # # Create a new object using a dictionary my $engine = App::SimpleScan::Substitution( { defs => \%dictionary } ); my @substituted_strings = $engine->expand($string); # Swap dictionaries. $engine->dictionary(\%new_hash); my @different_strings = $engine->expand($string);
App::SimpleScan::Substitution encapsulates simple_scan's combinatorial substitution algorith in a class. This allows us to isolate it from the rest of simple_scan's code (and potentially reuse it later).
App::SimpleScan::Substitution
Creates a new instance of the substitution engine. If a dictionary is supplied, it is stored to be used during calls to expand().
Replaces the current dictionary with a new one. The dictionary is passed in as a hash reference and stored as such. This means if the dictionary hash is changed externally, then the updates are automatically reflected in the dictionary we'll use.
Expands the string (or strings) passed as an argument using the current dictionary.
Setter/getter for dictionary entries. If a list of values is supplied, the substitution value is set. In all cases, the value is returned.
Deletes the named substitution from the dictionary. No action if the substitution is not found.
Argument to new is not a hash ref
The new() argument must be a hash ref, if any argument is supplied at all. This is most commonly caused by supplying 'dictionary => /%some hash' and forgetting to put curly braces around it.
dictionary must be a hash reference
You passed in a value for dictionary that wasn't a hash reference. Did you forget to say \%hash?
find_vars_callback must be a code reference
You passed in a value for find_vars_callback that wasn't a code reference. Did you try to just use a regex without sub{} around it?
App::SimpleScan::Substitution requires no configuration files or environment variables.
