NAME

       Text::Glob - match globbing patterns against text

SYNOPSIS

	use Text::Glob qw( match_glob glob_to_regex );

	print "matched
" if match_glob( "foo.*", "foo.bar" );

	# prints foo.bar and foo.baz
	my $regex = glob_to_regex( "foo.*" );
	for ( qw( foo.bar foo.baz foo bar ) ) {
	    print "matched: $_
" if /$regex/;
	}

DESCRIPTION

       Text::Glob implements glob(3) style matching that can be used to match against text, rather than fetching names from a filesystem.  If you
       want to do full file globbing use the File::Glob module instead.

   Routines
       match_glob( $glob, @things_to_test )
	   Returns the list of things which match the glob from the source list.

       glob_to_regex( $glob )
	   Returns a compiled regex which is the equivalent of the globbing pattern.

       glob_to_regex_string( $glob )
	   Returns a regex string which is the equivalent of the globbing pattern.

SYNTAX

       The following metacharacters and rules are respected.

       "*" - match zero or more characters
	   "a*" matches "a", "aa", "aaaa" and many many more.

       "?" - match exactly one character
	   "a?" matches "aa", but not "a", or "aaa"

       Character sets/ranges
	   "example.[ch]" matches "example.c" and "example.h"

	   "demo.[a-c]" matches "demo.a", "demo.b", and "demo.c"

       alternation
	   "example.{foo,bar,baz}" matches "example.foo", "example.bar", and "example.baz"

       leading . must be explictly matched
	   "*.foo" does not match ".bar.foo".  For this you must either specify the leading . in the glob pattern (".*.foo"), or set
	   $Text::Glob::strict_leading_dot to a false value while compiling the regex.

       "*" and "?" do not match /
	   "*.foo" does not match "bar/baz.foo".  For this you must either explicitly match the / in the glob ("*/*.foo"), or set
	   $Text::Glob::strict_wildcard_slash to a false value with compiling the regex.

BUGS

       The code uses qr// to produce compiled regexes, therefore this module requires perl version 5.005_03 or newer.

NAME

       Sub::Delete - Perl module enabling one to delete subroutines

VERSION

       1.00002

SYNOPSIS

	   use Sub::Delete;
	   sub foo {}
	   delete_sub 'foo';
	   eval 'foo();1' or die; # dies

DESCRIPTION

       This module provides one function, "delete_sub", that deletes the subroutine whose name is passed to it. (To load the module without
       importing the function, write "use Sub::Delete();".)

       This does more than simply undefine the subroutine in the manner of "undef &foo", which leaves a stub that can trigger AUTOLOAD (and,
       consequently, won't work for deleting methods).	The subroutine is completely obliterated from the symbol table (though there may be
       references to it elsewhere, including in compiled code).

PREREQUISITES

       This module requires perl 5.8.3 or higher.

LIMITATIONS

       If you take a reference to a glob containing a subroutine, and then delete the subroutine with "delete_sub", you will find that the glob
       you referenced still has a subroutine in it. This is because "delete_sub" removes a glob, replaces it with another, and then copies the
       contents of the old glob into the new one, except for the "CODE" slot. (This is nearly impossible to fix without breaking
       constant::lexical.)

BUGS

       If you find any bugs, please report them to the author via e-mail.

SEE ALSO

       perltodo, which has "delete &sub" listed as a possible future feature

       Symbol::Glob and Symbol::Util, both of which predate this module (but I only discovered them recently), and which allow one to delete any
       arbitrary slot from a glob. Neither of them takes perl 5.10 constants into account, however. They also both differ from this module, in
       that a subroutine referenced in compiled code can no longer be called if deleted from its glob. The entire glob must be replaced (which
       this module does).
