Regexp::MultiLanguage - Convert common regular expressions checks in to Perl, PHP, and JavaScript code.


NAME

Regexp::MultiLanguage - Convert common regular expressions checks in to Perl, PHP, and JavaScript code.


VERSION

Version 0.03


SYNOPSIS

Given a set of regular expressions in a simple format, this module writes code for Perl, PHP, and JavaScript that uses those regular expressions.

    use Regexp::MultiLanguage qw(Perl JavaScript PHP);
    my $snippet = <<'END';
    number : integer || binary

    integer : /\d+/
    binary : /0b[01]+/i
    END

    print "Perl: \n";
         print Regexp::MultiLanguage->compile( $snippet, 'Perl', 'isa_' );

         print "\nJavaScript: \n";
         print Regexp::MultiLanguage->compile( $snippet, 'JavaScript', 'isa_' );

         print "\nPHP: \n";
         print Regexp::MultiLanguage->compile( $snippet, 'PHP', 'isa_' );

=head1 FORMAT

The format used is similar to the Parse::RecDescent manpage:

        name : expr

where C<expr> is a boolean expression where each term is either another C<name> or
a regular expression.


FUNCTIONS

compile

Usage: Regexp::MultiLanguage->compile( $code, $language, [$function_prefix] );

For each name in the FORMAT in the code manpage, generates one function whose name is [$function_prefix]name. These functions will compile in the language specified (must be Perl, PHP, or JavaScript).
