Hi,

actually an RFC colud be useful.
Stop with the marketing gag and lets explain why:
what the module offers is a kind of synthetic data generation language, i.e. it is a mean to describe a set of values in a very very condensed form.
How?

Think about a Regex pattern that instead of filtering the matching data it actually produces it,
i.e. for example the rule:

[01]{2} 
produces the array '00' , '01' ,'10' , '11'.

Unfortunately regex syntax cannot be used 1:1 for this purpose, so I had to define my own syntax and build de facto a kind of mini data generation language. An RFC about this language could be useful.
Do you have a suggestion where I could put it?

PS: can one have a negative geek point total?

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
