perlretut - Perl regular expressions tutorial

DESCRIPTION

Part 1: The basics

Simple word matching
Using character classes
Matching this or that
Grouping things and hierarchical matching: 0. Start with the first letter in the string 'a', 1. Try the first alternative in the first group 'abd', 2. Match 'a' followed by
'b'. So far so good, 3. 'd' in the regexp doesn't match 'c' in the string - a dead end. So backtrack two characters and pick the second alternative in the first group 'abc', 4. Match 'a' followed by
'b' followed by 'c'. We are on a roll and have satisfied the first group. Set $1 to 'abc', 5 Move on to the second group and pick the first alternative 'df', 6 Match the 'd', 7. 'f' in the regexp doesn't match 'e' in the string, so a dead end. Backtrack one character and pick the second alternative in the second group 'd', 8.
'd' matches. The second grouping is satisfied, so set $2 to 'd', 9. We are at the end of the regexp, so we are done! We have matched 'abcd' out of the string "abcde"
Extracting matches
Backreferences
Relative backreferences
Named backreferences
Alternative capture group numbering
Position information
Non-capturing groupings
Matching repetitions: 0. Start with the first letter in the string 't', 1. The first
quantifier '.*' starts out by matching the whole string ""the cat in the hat"", 2. 'a' in the regexp element 'at' doesn't match the end of the string. Backtrack one character, 3. 'a' in the regexp element 'at' still doesn't match the last letter of the string 't', so backtrack one more character, 4. Now we can match the 'a' and the
't', 5. Move on to the third element '.*'. Since we are at the end of the string and '.*' can match 0 times, assign it the empty string, 6. We are done!
Possessive quantifiers
Building a regexp
Using regular expressions in Perl

Part 2: Power tools

More on characters, strings, and character classes
Compiling and saving regular expressions
Composing regular expressions at runtime
Embedding comments and modifiers in a regular expression
Looking ahead and looking behind
Using independent subexpressions to prevent backtracking
Conditional expressions
Defining named patterns

perlunicode - Unicode support in Perl

DESCRIPTION

Important Caveats: Safest if you "use feature 'unicode_strings'", Input and Output Layers, You must convert your non-ASCII, non-UTF-8 Perl scripts to be UTF-8, "use utf8" still needed to enable UTF-8 in scripts, UTF-16 scripts autodetected
Byte and Character Semantics
ASCII Rules versus Unicode Rules: When the string has been upgraded to UTF-8, There are additional methods for regular expression patterns
Extended Grapheme Clusters (Logical characters)
Unicode Character Properties: "\p{All}", "\p{Alnum}", "\p{Any}", "\p{ASCII}", "\p{Assigned}", "\p{Blank}", "\p{Decomposition_Type: Non_Canonical}" (Short: "\p{Dt=NonCanon}"), "\p{Graph}", "\p{HorizSpace}", "\p{In=*}", "\p{PerlSpace}", "\p{PerlWord}", "\p{Posix...}", "\p{Present_In: *}" (Short: "\p{In=*}"), "\p{Print}", "\p{SpacePerl}", "\p{Title}" and "\p{Titlecase}", "\p{Unicode}", "\p{VertSpace}", "\p{Word}", "\p{XPosix...}"
Wildcards in Property Values
User-Defined Character Properties
User-Defined Case Mappings (for serious hackers only)
Character Encodings for Input and Output
Unicode Regular Expression Support Level: [1] "\N{U+...}" and "\x{...}", [2] "\p{...}" "\P{...}". This requirement is for a minimal list of properties. Perl supports these and all other Unicode character properties, as R2.7 asks (see ``Unicode Character Properties'' above), [3] Perl has "\d" "\D" "\s" "\S" "\w" "\W" "\X" "[:prop:]" "[:^prop:]", plus all the properties specified by <http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr18/#Compatibility_Properties>. These are described above in ``Other Properties'', [4], Regular expression lookahead, [5] "\b" "\B" meet most, but not all, the details of this requirement, but "\b{wb}" and "\B{wb}" do, as well as the stricter R2.3, [6], [7], [8] UTF-8/UTF-EBDDIC used in Perl allows not only "U+10000" to "U+10FFFF" but also beyond "U+10FFFF", [9] Unicode has rewritten this portion of UTS#18 to say that getting canonical equivalence (see UAX#15 ``Unicode Normalization Forms'' <http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr15>) is basically to be done at the programmer level. Use NFD to write both your regular expressions and text to match them against (you can use Unicode::Normalize), [10] Perl has "\X" and "\b{gcb}" but we don't have a ``Grapheme Cluster Mode'', [11] see UAX#29 ``Unicode Text Segmentation'' <http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr29>,, [12] see ``Wildcards in Property Values'' above, [13] Perl has Unicode::Collate, but it isn't integrated with regular expressions. See UTS#10 ``Unicode Collation Algorithms'' <http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr10>, [14] Perl has "(?<=x)" and "(?=x)", but this requirement says that it should be possible to specify that matches may occur only in a substring with the lookaheads and lookbehinds able to see beyond that matchable portion, [15] Perl has user-defined properties (``User-Defined Character Properties'') to look at single code points in ways beyond Unicode, and it might be possible, though probably not very clean, to use code blocks and things like "(?(DEFINE)...)" (see perlre) to do more specialized matching

perlunifaq - Perl Unicode FAQ

Q and A

perlunitut isn't really a Unicode tutorial, is it?
What character encodings does Perl support?
Which version of perl should I use?
What about binary data, like images?
When should I decode or encode?
What if I don't decode?
What if I don't encode?
Is there a way to automatically decode or encode?
What if I don't know which encoding was used?
Can I use Unicode in my Perl sources?
Data::Dumper doesn't restore the UTF8 flag; is it broken?
Why do regex character classes sometimes match only in the ASCII range?
Why do some characters not uppercase or lowercase correctly?
How can I determine if a string is a text string or a binary string?
How do I convert from encoding FOO to encoding BAR?
What are "decode_utf8" and "encode_utf8"?
What is a "wide character"?

INTERNALS

What is "the UTF8 flag"?
What about the "use bytes" pragma?
What about the "use encoding" pragma?
What is the difference between ":encoding" and ":utf8"?
What's the difference between "UTF-8" and "utf8"?
I lost track; what encoding is the internal format really?

perluniprops - Index of Unicode Version 12.1.0 character properties in Perl

DESCRIPTION

Properties accessible through "\p{}" and "\P{}"

Single form ("\p{name}") tighter rules:, white space adjacent to a non-word character, underscores separating digits in numbers, Compound form ("\p{name=value}" or "\p{name:value}") tighter rules:, Stabilized, Deprecated, Obsolete, Discouraged, * is a wild-card, (\d+) in the info column gives the number of Unicode code points matched by this property, D means this is deprecated, O means this is obsolete, S means this is stabilized, T means tighter (stricter) name matching applies, X means use of this form is discouraged, and may not be stable

Legal "\p{}" and "\P{}" constructs that match no characters: \p{Canonical_Combining_Class=Attached_Below_Left}, \p{Canonical_Combining_Class=CCC133}, \p{Grapheme_Cluster_Break=E_Base}, \p{Grapheme_Cluster_Break=E_Base_GAZ}, \p{Grapheme_Cluster_Break=E_Modifier}, \p{Grapheme_Cluster_Break=Glue_After_Zwj}, \p{Word_Break=E_Base}, \p{Word_Break=E_Base_GAZ}, \p{Word_Break=E_Modifier}, \p{Word_Break=Glue_After_Zwj}

The upper limit "n" specifiable in a regular expression quantifier of the form "{m,n}" has been doubled to 65534
Unicode 12.1 is supported
Wildcards in Unicode property value specifications are now partially supported
qr'\N{name}' is now supported
Turkic UTF-8 locales are now seamlessly supported
It is now possible to compile perl to always use thread-safe locale operations.
Eliminate opASSIGN macro usage from core
"-Drv" now means something on "-DDEBUGGING" builds

Incompatible Changes

Assigning non-zero to $[ is fatal
Delimiters must now be graphemes
Some formerly deprecated uses of an unescaped left brace "{" in regular expression patterns are now illegal
Previously deprecated sysread()/syswrite() on :utf8 handles is now fatal
my() in false conditional prohibited
Fatalize $* and $#
Fatalize unqualified use of dump()
Remove File::Glob::glob()
"pack()" no longer can return malformed UTF-8
Any set of digits in the Common script are legal in a script run of another script
JSON::PP enables allow_nonref by default

Deprecations

In XS code, use of various macros dealing with UTF-8.

FAQ

What's the minimum perl version required to run Archive::Tar?, Isn't Archive::Tar slow?, Isn't Archive::Tar heavier on memory than /bin/tar?, Can you lazy-load data instead?, How much memory will an X kb tar file need?, What do you do with unsupported filetypes in an archive?, I'm using WinZip, or some other non-POSIX client, and files are not being extracted properly!, How do I extract only files that have property X from an archive?, How do I access .tar.Z files?, How do I handle Unicode strings?

CAVEATS

TODO

Check if passed in handles are open for read/write, Allow archives to be passed in as string, Facilitate processing an opened filehandle of a compressed archive

ExtUtils::MakeMaker::Config - Wrapper around Config.pm

SYNOPSIS
DESCRIPTION

ExtUtils::MakeMaker::FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions About MakeMaker

DESCRIPTION

Module Installation: How do I install a module into my home directory?, How do I get MakeMaker and Module::Build to install to the same place?, How do I keep from installing man pages?, How do I use a module without installing it?, How can I organize tests into subdirectories and have them run?, PREFIX vs INSTALL_BASE from Module::Build::Cookbook, Generating *.pm files with substitutions eg of $VERSION
Common errors and problems: ``No rule to make target `/usr/lib/perl5/CORE/config.h', needed by `Makefile'''
Philosophy and History: Why not just use <insert other build config tool here>?, What is Module::Build and how does it relate to MakeMaker?, pure perl. no make, no
shell commands, easier to customize, cleaner internals, less cruft
Module Writing: How do I keep my $VERSION up to date without resetting it manually?, What's this META.yml thing and how did it get in my MANIFEST?!, How do I delete everything not in my MANIFEST?, Which tar should I use on Windows?, Which zip should I use on Windows for '[ndg]make zipdist'?
XS: How do I prevent ``object version X.XX does not match bootstrap parameter Y.YY'' errors?, How do I make two or more XS files coexist in the same directory?, XSMULTI, Separate directories, Bootstrapping

DESIGN

MakeMaker object hierarchy (simplified)
MakeMaker object hierarchy (real)
The MM_* hierarchy

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

Command Line Options, an Introduction

Getting Started with Getopt::Long

Simple options
A little bit less simple options
Mixing command line option with other arguments
Options with values
Options with multiple values
Options with hash values
User-defined subroutines to handle options
Options with multiple names
Case and abbreviations
Summary of Option Specifications: !, +, s, i, o, f, : type [ desttype ], : number [ desttype ], : + [ desttype ]

Advanced Possibilities

Object oriented interface
Thread Safety
Documentation and help texts
Parsing options from an arbitrary array
Parsing options from an arbitrary string
Storing options values in a hash
Bundling
The lonesome dash
Argument callback

Configuring Getopt::Long

default, posix_default, auto_abbrev, getopt_compat, gnu_compat, gnu_getopt, require_order, permute, bundling (default: disabled), bundling_override (default: disabled), ignore_case (default: enabled), ignore_case_always (default: disabled), auto_version (default:disabled), auto_help (default:disabled), pass_through (default: disabled), prefix, prefix_pattern, long_prefix_pattern, debug (default: disabled)

Exportable Methods

VersionMessage, "-message", "-msg", "-exitval", "-output", HelpMessage

Return values and Errors

Legacy

Default destinations
Alternative option starters
Configuration variables

Tips and Techniques

Obtaining and installing libnet

What is libnet ?
Which version of perl do I need ?
What other modules do I need ?
What machines support libnet ?
Where can I get the latest libnet release

Using Net::FTP

How do I download files from an FTP server ?
How do I transfer files in binary mode ?
How can I get the size of a file on a remote FTP server ?
How can I get the modification time of a file on a remote FTP server ?
How can I change the permissions of a file on a remote server ?
Can I do a reget operation like the ftp command ?
How do I get a directory listing from an FTP server ?
Changing directory to "" does not fail ?
I am behind a SOCKS firewall, but the Firewall option does not work ?
I am behind an FTP proxy firewall, but cannot access machines outside ?
My ftp proxy firewall does not listen on port 21
Is it possible to change the file permissions of a file on an FTP server ?
I have seen scripts call a method message, but cannot find it documented ?
Why does Net::FTP not implement mput and mget methods

Using Net::SMTP

Why can't the part of an Email address after the @ be used as the hostname ?
Why does Net::SMTP not do DNS MX lookups ?
The verify method always returns true ?

Debugging scripts

How can I debug my scripts that use Net::* modules ?

SYNOPSIS
DESCRIPTION: Call Pod::Perldoc::GetOptsOO::getopts($object, \@ARGV, $truth), Given -n, if there's a opt_n_with, it'll call $object->opt_n_with( ARGUMENT ) (e.g., ``-n foo'' => $object->opt_n_with('foo'). Ditto ``-nfoo''), Otherwise
(given -n) if there's an opt_n, we'll call it $object->opt_n($truth) (Truth defaults to 1), Otherwise we try calling $object->handle_unknown_option('n') (and we increment the error count by the return value of it), If there's no handle_unknown_option, then we just warn, and then increment the error counter

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

METHODS

Class Methods
Rules data structure: By default, all tests are eligible to be run in parallel. Specifying any of your own rules removes this one, ``First match wins''. The first rule that matches a test will be the one that applies, Any test which does not match a rule will be run in sequence at the end of the run, The existence of a rule does not imply selecting a test. You must still specify the tests to run, Specifying a rule to allow tests to run in parallel does not make the run in parallel. You still need specify the number of parallel "jobs" in your Harness object
