Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist * Package name : libstring-interpolate-perl Version : 0.32 Upstream Author : Brian McCauley, Neil Bowers * URL : https://metacpan.org/pod/String::Interpolate * License : Same as Perl Programming Lang: Perl Description : String::Interpolate - Wrapper for builtin the Perl interpolation engine
String::Interpolate provides a neat interface to the solution to that perenial Perl problem - how to invoke the Perl string interpolation engine on a string contained in a scalar variable. Is there a reason this hasn't been packaged? Does another module offer the same capability. I need this to store a regex pattern and do a substitution, e.g.: my $r = "CBA:$1"; s/$_/safe_interpolate($r)/e; (The patterns are provided by the user in a config file.) -- Martin Michlmayr https://www.cyrius.com/
