NAME Regexp::Melody - Melody is a language that compiles to regular expressions, while aiming to be more readable and maintainable VERSION version 0.001000 SYNOPSIS use Test2::V0; use Regexp::Melody; my $re = Regexp::Melody->new( <<'MELODY' ); 16 of "na"; 2 of match { ; "batman"; } MELODY like( "nananananananananananananananana batman", $re ); done_testing; DESCRIPTION Melody is a more verbose way of writing regular expressions. Melody syntax is described at https://yoav-lavi.github.io/melody/book/. This module is a wrapper around the Rust implementation of Melody, and provides a functional interface identical to the Rust library, as well as an object-oriented interface which may be more convenient for use in Perl. FUNCTIONAL INTERFACE No functions are exported by default, but they may be requested: use Regexp::Melody qw( compiler ); Functions compiler( $melody ) Compiles the string of Melody into a PCRE-like string. OBJECT-ORIENTED INTERFACE Constructor new( $melody ) Compiles a string of Melody into a regular expression. The returned object is a blessed Perl object, but may be used on the right hand side of the `=~` operator like a regexp. (It's actually a blessed regexp ref, but that detail may change in future versions of this module.) Methods to_melody() Turns the regexp back into a string of Melody.
