carp::datum::strip

Datum::Strip(3pm)					User Contributed Perl Documentation					 Datum::Strip(3pm)

NAME

       Carp::Datum::Strip - strips most Carp::Datum calls lexically

SYNOPSIS

	use Carp::Datum::Strip qw(datum_strip);

	datum_strip("-", "-");
	datum_strip($file, "$file.new", ".bak");

DESCRIPTION

       This module exports a single routine, datum_strip(), whose purpose is to remove calls to "Carp::Datum" routines lexically.

       Because stripping is done lexically, there are some restrictions about what is actually supported.  Unless the conventions documented in
       Carp::Datum are followed, stripping will be incorrect.

       The general guidelines are:

       o   Do not use here documents or generalized quotes (qq) within assertion expression or tags.  Write assertions using '' or "", as
	   appropriate.

       o   Assertions can be safely put on several lines, but must end with a semi-colon, outside any string.

       There are two calls that will never be stripped: VERIFY() and DTRACE().	The VERIFY() is meant to be preserved (or "DREQUIRE" would have
       been used).  "DTRACE", when called, will be remapped dynamically to some "Log::Agent" routine, depending on the trace level.  See
       Carp::Datum for details.

INTERFACE

       The interface of the datum_strip() routine is:

       "datum_strip" old_file, new_file, [ext]
	   The old_file specifies the old file path, the one to be stripped.  The stripped version will be written to new_file.

	   If the optional third argument ext is given (e.g. ".bak"), then old_file will be renamed with the supplied extension, and new_file will
	   be renamed old_file.  Renaming only occurs if stripping was successful (i.e. the new file was correctly written to disk).

	   The lowest nine "rwx" mode bits from old_file are preserved when creating new_file.

	   Both old_file and new_file can be set to "-", in which case STDIN and STDOUT are used, respectively, and no renaming can occur, nor any
	   mode bit propagation.

	   Returns true on success, "undef" on error.
