You originally said "easier to build and *understand*" (emphasis mine). Machine code is not mnemonic, but assembly is. From where I sit, going from APL to COBOL is a closer analogy. Speaking only for myself, I don't see any "conceptual increment" (more power for less effort) in this case. I ca

(Sorry for the duplicate message, bulk 88, I keep forgetting that reply doesn't go to the list.) Are the hash algorithms only available via the module? It sounds like this should be split in two, e.g., Algorithm::Hash::HashNameABC, and perhaps Hash::Util::Benchmark. I know I demoted Benchmark fro

I have to agree with Lars. I would suggest that the long name is more likely to found (people being more likely to scan the Regexp name space) and the short name less. - Brian On 2013-08-04 12:30, Shawn H Corey wrote: On Sun, 4 Aug 2013 18:03:51 +0200 Lars Dɪᴇᴄᴋᴏᴡ 迪拉斯 wrote: This would be

Proposal For A Module To Generate Regular Expressions

2013-08-04 Thread Shawn H Corey
I have started a Module I call REG (Regular Expression Generator) and placed it in github (see below). The idea is to create REs by called descriptive methods which generate the appropriate RE. For example, to create a RE to match the word test in a string: my $re_test = REG->string_begin()
