Text-Starfish — A Perl-based System for Text-Embedded Programming and Preprocessing

The Text::Starfish module and starfish command-line utility support processing of embedded Perl code in an arbitrary text and provide for flexible text patterns that identify such code or activate more general text replacement.

The main Starfish web site is http://web.cs.dal.ca/~vlado/srcperl/starfish/starfish.html.

Documentation is part of the file Starfish.pm in the Pod format. To convert it into the manual page format, use the following commands ('$' is just a shell prompt, do not type it!):

 $ pod2html Starfish.pm

INSTALLATION

To install this module type the following:

 $ perl Makefile.PL
 $ make
 $ make test
 $ make install

If you do not have permissions to install the module in the system-wide module repository, you can install it locally; e.g.,

 $ perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=/home/mydir

DEPENDENCIES

No significant dependencies, as far as I know. All used Perl modules should be a part of Perl core. Let me know if you find something important to add.
