in reply to japhy's regex article for the TPJ
In my opinion...what's really needed for regex is a stable interface into presenting regex to humans. most people i know would like to have the power to access regex easily, but without the arcane symbols. there are some programs about that do this, translating from various spoken languages from/to regex. alas, their gui etc. interface is hardcoded. if we had a module instead....
Please, please, pretty please provide a way to do regex with sexy things like image/sound/video files. thanks heaps. |

use Regexp::English;
my $re = Regexp::English

-> optional

-> end
-> remember
-> multiple
-> digit;
while (<INPUT>) {
if (my $match = $re->match($_)) {
print "$match\n";
}
}
