=head1 PERL VERSION
This module should work on any version of perl still receiving updates from
the Perl 5 Porters. This means it should work on any version of perl released
in the last two to three years. (That is, if the most recently released
version is v5.40, then this module should work on both v5.40 and v5.38.)
Although it may work on older versions of perl, no guarantee is made that the
minimum required version will not be increased. The version may be increased
for any reason, and there is no promise that patches will be accepted to lower
the minimum required perl.
=head1 METHODS
=head2 rewrite
String::RewritePrefix->rewrite(\%prefix, @strings);
This rewrites all the given strings using the rules in C<%prefix>. Its keys
are known prefixes for which its values will be substituted. This is performed
in longest-first order, and only one prefix will be rewritten.
If the prefix value is a coderef, it will be executed with the remaining string
as its only argument. The return value will be used as the prefix.
