NAME
HP15 - Source code filter to escape HP-15 script
Install and Usage
There are two steps there:
You'll have to download HP15.pm and Ehp15.pm and put it in your perl lib directory.
You'll need to write "use HP15;" at head of the script.
SYNOPSIS
use HP15;
use HP15 ver.sion; --- require minimum version
use HP15 ver.sion.0; --- expects version (match or die)
use HP15 qw(ord reverse getc); --- demand enhanced feature of ord, reverse, and getc
use HP15 ver.sion qw(ord reverse getc);
use HP15 ver.sion.0 qw(ord reverse getc);
# "no HP15;" not supported
or
$ perl HP15.pm HP-15_script.pl > Escaped_script.pl.e
then
$ perl Escaped_script.pl.e
HP-15_script.pl --- script written in HP-15
Escaped_script.pl.e --- escaped script

ABSTRACT
HP15 software is "middleware" between perl interpreter and your Perl script written in HP-15.
Perl is optimized for problems which are about 90% working with text and about 10% everything else. Even if this "text" doesn't contain HP-15, Perl3 or later can treat HP-15 as binary data.
By "use HP15;", it automatically interpret your script as HP-15. The various functions of perl including a regular expression can treat HP-15 now. The function length treats length per byte. This software does not use UTF8 flag.
Yet Another Future Of
JPerl is very useful software. -- Oops, note, this "JPerl" means "Japanized Perl" or "Japanese Perl". Therefore, it is unrelated to JPerl of the following.
JPerl is an implementation of Perl written in Java.

jPerl - Perl on the JVM

Now, the last version of JPerl is 5.005_04 and is not maintained now.
Japanization modifier WATANABE Hirofumi said,
"Because WATANABE am tired I give over maintaing JPerl."
at Slide #15: "The future of JPerl" of
ftp://ftp.oreilly.co.jp/pcjp98/watanabe/jperlconf.ppt
in The Perl Confernce Japan 1998.
When I heard it, I thought that someone excluding me would maintain JPerl. And I slept every night hanging a sock. Night and day, I kept having hope. After 10 years, I noticed that white beard exists in the sock :-)
This software is a source code filter to escape Perl script encoded by HP-15 given from STDIN or command line parameter. The character code is never converted by escaping the script. Neither the value of the character nor the length of the character string change even if it escapes.
I learned the following things from the successful software.
Upper Compatibility like Perl4 to Perl5
Maximum Portability like jcode.pl
Remains One Language Handling Raw HP-15, Doesn't Use UTF8 flag like JPerl
Remains One Interpreter like Encode module
Code Set Independent like Ruby
Monolithic Script like cpanminus
There's more than one way to do it like Perl itself
I am excited about this software and Perl's future --- I hope you are too.
JRE: JPerl Runtime Environment
+---------------------------------------+
| JPerl Application Script | Your Script
+---------------------------------------+
| Source Code Filter, Runtime Routine | ex. HP15.pm, Ehp15.pm
+---------------------------------------+
| PVM 5.00503 or later | ex. perl 5.00503
+---------------------------------------+
A Perl Virtual Machine (PVM) enables a set of computer software programs and data structures to use a virtual machine model for the execution of other computer programs and scripts. The model used by a PVM accepts a form of computer intermediate language commonly referred to as Perl byteorientedcode. This language conceptually represents the instruction set of a byte-oriented, capability architecture.
Basic Idea of Source Code Filter
I discovered this mail again recently.
[Tokyo.pm] jus Benkyoukai
http://mail.pm.org/pipermail/tokyo-pm/1999-September/001854.html
save as: SJIS.pm
package SJIS;
use Filter::Util::Call;
sub multibyte_filter {
my $status;
if (($status = filter_read()) > 0 ) {
s/([\x81-\x9f\xe0-\xef])([\x40-\x7e\x80-\xfc])/
sprintf("\\x%02x\\x%02x",ord($1),ord($2))
/eg;
}
$status;
}
sub import {
filter_add(\&multibyte_filter);
}
1;
I am glad that I could confirm my idea is not so wrong.
Command-line Wildcard Expansion on DOS-like Systems
The default command shells on DOS-like systems (COMMAND.COM or cmd.exe or Win95Cmd.exe) do not expand wildcard arguments supplied to programs. Instead, import of Ehp15.pm works well.
in Ehp15.pm
#
# @ARGV wildcard globbing
#
sub import {
if ($^O =~ /\A (?: MSWin32 | NetWare | symbian | dos ) \z/oxms) {
my @argv = ();
for (@ARGV) {
# has space
if (/\A (?:$q_char)*? [ ] /oxms) {
if (my @glob = Ehp15::glob(qq{"$_"})) {
push @argv, @glob;
}
else {
push @argv, $_;
}
}
# has wildcard metachar
elsif (/\A (?:$q_char)*? [*?] /oxms) {
if (my @glob = Ehp15::glob($_)) {
push @argv, @glob;
}
else {
push @argv, $_;
}
}
# no wildcard globbing
else {
push @argv, $_;
}
}
@ARGV = @argv;
}
}
Software Composition
HP15.pm --- source code filter to escape HP-15
Ehp15.pm --- run-time routines for HP15.pm
Upper Compatibility by Escaping
This software adds the function by 'Escaping' it always, and nothing of the past is broken. Therefore, 'Possible job' never becomes 'Impossible job'. This approach is effective in the field where the retreat is never permitted. It means incompatible upgrade of Perl should be rewound.
Escaping Your Script (You do)
You need write 'use HP15;' in your script.
---------------------
You do
---------------------
use HP15;
---------------------
Escaping Multiple-Octet Code (HP15 software provides)
Insert chr(0x5c) before @ [ \ ] ^ ` { | and } in multiple-octet of
string in single quote ('', q{}, <<'END', and qw{})
string in double quote ("", qq{}, <<END, <<"END", ``, qx{}, and <<`END`)
regexp in single quote (m'', s''', split(''), split(m''), and qr'')
regexp in double quote (//, m//, ??, s///, split(//), split(m//), and qr//)
character in tr/// (tr/// and y///)
ex. Japanese Katakana "SO" like [ `/ ] code is "\x83\x5C" in SJIS
see hex dump
-----------------------------------------
source script "`/" [83 5c]
-----------------------------------------
Here, use SJIS;
hex dump
-----------------------------------------
escaped script "`\/" [83 [5c] 5c]
-----------------------------------------
^--- escape by SJIS software
by the by see hex dump
-----------------------------------------
your eye's "`/\" [83 5c] [5c]
-----------------------------------------
perl eye's "`\/" [83] \[5c]
-----------------------------------------
hex dump
-----------------------------------------
in the perl "`/" [83] [5c]
-----------------------------------------
Multiple-Octet Anchoring of Regular Expression (HP15 software provides)
HP15 software applies multiple-octet anchoring at beginning of regular expression.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Before After
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
m/regexp/ m/${Ehp15::anchor}(?:regexp).../
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Escaping Second Octet (HP15 software provides)
HP15 software escapes second octet of multiple-octet character in regular expression.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Before After
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
m<...`/...> m<...`/\...>
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Multiple-Octet Character Regular Expression (HP15 software provides)
HP15 software clusters multiple-octet character with quantifier, makes cluster from multiple-octet custom character classes. And makes multiple-octet version metasymbol from classic Perl character class shortcuts and POSIX-style character classes.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Before After
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
m/...MULTIOCT+.../ m/...(?:MULTIOCT)+.../
m/...[AN-EM].../ m/...(?:A[N-Z]|[B-D][A-Z]|E[A-M]).../
m/...\D.../ m/...(?:${Ehp15::eD}).../
m/...[[:^digit:]].../ m/...(?:${Ehp15::not_digit}).../
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Calling 'Ehp15::ignorecase()' (HP15 software provides)
HP15 software applies calling 'Ehp15::ignorecase()' instead of /i modifier.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Before After
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
m/...$var.../i m/...@{[Ehp15::ignorecase($var)]}.../
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Character-Oriented Regular Expression
Regular expression works as character-oriented that has no /b modifier.

Un-Escaping \ of \b{}, \B{}, \N{}, \p{}, \P{}, and \X (HP15 software provides)
HP15 software removes '\' at head of alphanumeric regexp metasymbols \b{}, \B{}, \N{}, \p{}, \P{} and \X. By this method, you can avoid the trap of the abstraction.

-w only inspects the read-only file attribute (FILE_ATTRIBUTE_READONLY), which determines whether the directory can be deleted, not whether it can be written to. Directories always have read and write access unless denied by discretionary access control lists (DACLs). (MSWin32) -R, -W, -X, -O are indistinguishable from -r, -w, -x, -o. (MSWin32) -g, -k, -l, -u, -A are not particularly meaningful. (MSWin32) -x (or -X) determine if a file ends in one of the executable suffixes. -S is meaningless. (MSWin32)
As of Perl 5.00503, as a form of purely syntactic sugar, you can stack file test operators, in a way that -w -x $file is equivalent to -x $file && -w _ .
if ( -w -r $file ) {
print "The file is both readable and writable!\n";
}

Character-Oriented Subsroutines
Ordinal Value of Character
$ord = HP15::ord($string); This subroutine returns the numeric value (ASCII or HP-15 character) of the first character of $string, not Unicode. If $string is omitted, it uses $_. The return value is always unsigned. If you import ord "use HP15 qw(ord);", ord of your script will be rewritten in HP15::ord. HP15::ord is not compatible with ord of JPerl.
Reverse List or String
@reverse = HP15::reverse(@list); $reverse = HP15::reverse(@list); In list context, this subroutine returns a list value consisting of the elements of @list in the opposite order. In scalar context, the subroutine concatenates all the elements of @list and then returns the reverse of that resulting string, character by character. If you import reverse "use HP15 qw(reverse);", reverse of your script will be rewritten in HP15::reverse. HP15::reverse is not compatible with reverse of JPerl. Even if you do not know this subroutine, there is no problem. This subroutine can be created with $rev = join('', reverse(split(//, $jstring))); as before. See: P.558 JPerl (Japanese Perl) Appendix C Supplement the Japanese version ISBN 4-89052-384-7 PERL PUROGURAMINGU
Returns Next Character
$getc = HP15::getc(FILEHANDLE); $getc = HP15::getc($filehandle); $getc = HP15::getc; This subroutine returns the next character from the input file attached to FILEHANDLE. It returns undef at end-of-file, or if an I/O error was encountered. If FILEHANDLE is omitted, the subroutine reads from STDIN. This subroutine is somewhat slow, but it's occasionally useful for single-character input from the keyboard -- provided you manage to get your keyboard input unbuffered. This subroutine requests unbuffered input from the standard I/O library. Unfortunately, the standard I/O library is not so standard as to provide a portable way to tell the underlying operating system to supply unbuffered keyboard input to the standard I/O system. To do that, you have to be slightly more clever, and in an operating-system-dependent fashion. Under Unix you might say this: if ($BSD_STYLE) { system "stty cbreak </dev/tty >/dev/tty 2>&1"; } else { system "stty", "-icanon", "eol", "\001"; } $key = HP15::getc; if ($BSD_STYLE) { system "stty -cbreak </dev/tty >/dev/tty 2>&1"; } else { system "stty", "icanon", "eol", "^@"; # ASCII NUL } print "\n"; This code puts the next character typed on the terminal in the string $key. If your stty program has options like cbreak, you'll need to use the code where $BSD_STYLE is true. Otherwise, you'll need to use the code where it is false. If you import getc "use HP15 qw(getc);", getc of your script will be rewritten in HP15::getc. HP15::getc is not compatible with getc of JPerl.
Length by HP-15 Character
$length = HP15::length($string); $length = HP15::length(); This subroutine returns the length in characters (programmer-visible characters) of the scalar value $string. If $string is omitted, it returns the HP15::length of $_. Do not try to use HP15::length to find the size of an array or hash. Use scalar @array for the size of an array, and scalar keys %hash for the number of key/value pairs in a hash. (The scalar is typically omitted when redundant.) To find the length of a string in bytes rather than characters, say simply: $bytes = length($string); Even if you do not know this subroutine, there is no problem. This subroutine can be created with $len = split(//, $jstring); as before. See: P.558 JPerl (Japanese Perl) Appendix C Supplement the Japanese version ISBN 4-89052-384-7 PERL PUROGURAMINGU
Substr by HP-15 Character
$substr = HP15::substr($string,$offset,$length,$replacement); $substr = HP15::substr($string,$offset,$length); $substr = HP15::substr($string,$offset); This subroutine extracts a substring out of the string given by $string and returns it. The substring is extracted starting at $offset characters from the front of the string. First character is at offset zero. If $offset is negative, starts that far back from the end of the string. If $length is omitted, returns everything through the end of the string. If $length is negative, leaves that many characters off the end of the string. Otherwise, $length indicates the length of the substring to extract, which is sort of what you'd expect. my $s = "The black cat climbed the green tree"; my $color = HP15::substr $s, 4, 5; # black my $middle = HP15::substr $s, 4, -11; # black cat climbed the my $end = HP15::substr $s, 14; # climbed the green tree my $tail = HP15::substr $s, -4; # tree my $z = HP15::substr $s, -4, 2; # tr If Perl version 5.14 or later, you can use the HP15::substr() subroutine as an lvalue. In its case $string must itself be an lvalue. If you assign something shorter than $length, the string will shrink, and if you assign something longer than $length, the string will grow to accommodate it. To keep the string the same length, you may need to pad or chop your value using sprintf. If $offset and $length specify a substring that is partly outside the string, only the part within the string is returned. If the substring is beyond either end of the string, HP15::substr() returns the undefined value and produces a warning. When used as an lvalue, specifying a substring that is entirely outside the string raises an exception. Here's an example showing the behavior for boundary cases: my $name = 'fred'; HP15::substr($name, 4) = 'dy'; # $name is now 'freddy' my $null = HP15::substr $name, 6, 2; # returns "" (no warning) my $oops = HP15::substr $name, 7; # returns undef, with warning HP15::substr($name, 7) = 'gap'; # raises an exception An alternative to using HP15::substr() as an lvalue is to specify the replacement string as the 4th argument. This allows you to replace parts of the $string and return what was there before in one operation, just as you can with splice(). my $s = "The black cat climbed the green tree"; my $z = HP15::substr $s, 14, 7, "jumped from"; # climbed # $s is now "The black cat jumped from the green tree" Note that the lvalue returned by the three-argument version of HP15::substr() acts as a 'magic bullet'; each time it is assigned to, it remembers which part of the original string is being modified; for example: $x = '1234'; for (HP15::substr($x,1,2)) { $_ = 'a'; print $x,"\n"; # prints 1a4 $_ = 'xyz'; print $x,"\n"; # prints 1xyz4 $x = '56789'; $_ = 'pq'; print $x,"\n"; # prints 5pq9 } With negative offsets, it remembers its position from the end of the string when the target string is modified: $x = '1234'; for (HP15::substr($x, -3, 2)) { $_ = 'a'; print $x,"\n"; # prints 1a4, as above $x = 'abcdefg'; print $_,"\n"; # prints f } Prior to Perl version 5.10, the result of using an lvalue multiple times was unspecified. Prior to 5.16, the result with negative offsets was unspecified.
Index by HP-15 Character
$index = HP15::index($string,$substring,$offset); $index = HP15::index($string,$substring); This subroutine searches for one string within another. It returns the character position of the first occurrence of $substring in $string. The $offset, if specified, says how many characters from the start to skip before beginning to look. Positions are based at 0. If the substring is not found, the subroutine returns one less than the base, ordinarily -1. To work your way through a string, you might say: $pos = -1; while (($pos = HP15::index($string, $lookfor, $pos)) > -1) { print "Found at $pos\n"; $pos++; }
Rindex by HP-15 Character
$rindex = HP15::rindex($string,$substring,$offset); $rindex = HP15::rindex($string,$substring); This subroutine works just like HP15::index except that it returns the character position of the last occurrence of $substring in $string (a reverse HP15::index). The subroutine returns -1 if $substring is not found. $offset, if specified, is the rightmost character position that may be returned. To work your way through a string backward, say: $pos = HP15::length($string); while (($pos = HP15::rindex($string, $lookfor, $pos)) >= 0) { print "Found at $pos\n"; $pos--; }
Eval HP-15 Script
$eval = HP15::eval { block }; $eval = HP15::eval $expr; $eval = HP15::eval; The HP15::eval keyword serves two distinct but related purposes in JPerl. These purposes are represented by two forms of syntax, HP15::eval { block } and HP15::eval $expr. The first form traps runtime exceptions (errors) that would otherwise prove fatal, similar to the "try block" construct in C++ or Java. The second form compiles and executes little bits of code on the fly at runtime, and also (conveniently) traps any exceptions just like the first form. But the second form runs much slower than the first form, since it must parse the string every time. On the other hand, it is also more general. Whichever form you use, HP15::eval is the preferred way to do all exception handling in JPerl. For either form of HP15::eval, the value returned from an HP15::eval is the value of the last expression evaluated, just as with subroutines. Similarly, you may use the return operator to return a value from the middle of the eval. The expression providing the return value is evaluated in void, scalar, or list context, depending on the context of the HP15::eval itself. See wantarray for more on how the evaluation context can be determined. If there is a trappable error (including any produced by the die operator), HP15::eval returns undef and puts the error message (or object) in $@. If there is no error, $@ is guaranteed to be set to the null string, so you can test it reliably afterward for errors. A simple Boolean test suffices: HP15::eval { ... }; # trap runtime errors if ($@) { ... } # handle error (Prior to Perl 5.16, a bug caused undef to be returned in list context for syntax errors, but not for runtime errors.) The HP15::eval { block } form is syntax checked and compiled at compile time, so it is just as efficient at runtime as any other block. (People familiar with the slow HP15::eval $expr form are occasionally confused on this issue.) Because the { block } is compiled when the surrounding code is, this form of HP15::eval cannot trap syntax errors. The HP15::eval $expr form can trap syntax errors because it parses the code at runtime. (If the parse is unsuccessful, it places the parse error in $@, as usual.) If $expr is omitted, evaluates $_ . Otherwise, it executes the value of $expr as though it were a little JPerl script. The code is executed in the context of the current of the current JPerl script, which means that it can see any enclosing lexicals from a surrounding scope, and that any nonlocal variable settings remain in effect after the HP15::eval is complete, as do any subroutine or format definitions. The code of the HP15::eval is treated as a block, so any locally scoped variables declared within the HP15::eval last only until the HP15::eval is done. (See my and local.) As with any code in a block, a final semicolon is not required. HP15::eval will be escaped as follows: ------------------------------------------------- Before After ------------------------------------------------- HP15::eval { block } eval { block } HP15::eval $expr eval HP15::escape $expr HP15::eval eval HP15::escape ------------------------------------------------- To tell the truth, the subroutine HP15::eval does not exist. If it exists, you will troubled, when HP15::eval has a parameter that is single quoted string included my variables. HP15::escape is a subroutine that makes Perl script from JPerl script. Here is a simple JPerl shell. It prompts the user to enter a string of arbitrary JPerl code, compiles and executes that string, and prints whatever error occurred: #!/usr/bin/perl # jperlshell.pl - simple JPerl shell use HP15; print "\nEnter some JPerl code: "; while (<STDIN>) { HP15::eval; print $@; print "\nEnter some more JPerl code: "; } Here is a rename.pl script to do a mass renaming of files using a JPerl expression: #!/usr/bin/perl # rename.pl - change filenames use HP15; $op = shift; for (@ARGV) { $was = $_; HP15::eval $op; die if $@; # next line calls the built-in function, not # the script by the same name if ($was ne $_) { print STDERR "rename $was --> $_\n"; rename($was,$_); } } You'd use that script like this: C:\WINDOWS> perl rename.pl 's/\.orig$//' *.orig C:\WINDOWS> perl rename.pl 'y/A-Z/a-z/ unless /^Make/' * C:\WINDOWS> perl rename.pl '$_ .= ".bad"' *.f Since HP15::eval traps errors that would otherwise prove fatal, it is useful for determining whether particular features (such as fork or symlink) are implemented. Because HP15::eval { block } is syntax checked at compile time, any syntax error is reported earlier. Therefore, if your code is invariant and both HP15::eval $expr and HP15::eval { block } will suit your purposes equally well, the { block } form is preferred. For example: # make divide-by-zero nonfatal HP15::eval { $answer = $a / $b; }; warn $@ if $@; # same thing, but less efficient if run multiple times HP15::eval '$answer = $a / $b'; warn $@ if $@; # a compile-time syntax error (not trapped) HP15::eval { $answer = }; # WRONG # a runtime syntax error HP15::eval '$answer ='; # sets $@ Here, the code in the { block } has to be valid JPerl code to make it past the compile phase. The code in the $expr doesn't get examined until runtime, so it doesn't cause an error until runtime. Using the HP15::eval { block } form as an exception trap in libraries does have some issues. Due to the current arguably broken state of __DIE__ hooks, you may wish not to trigger any __DIE__ hooks that user code may have installed. You can use the local $SIG{__DIE__} construct for this purpose, as this example shows: # a private exception trap for divide-by-zero HP15::eval { local $SIG{'__DIE__'}; $answer = $a / $b; }; warn $@ if $@; This is especially significant, given that __DIE__ hooks can call die again, which has the effect of changing their error messages: # __DIE__ hooks may modify error messages { local $SIG{'__DIE__'} = sub { (my $x = $_[0]) =~ s/foo/bar/g; die $x }; HP15::eval { die "foo lives here" }; print $@ if $@; # prints "bar lives here" } Because this promotes action at a distance, this counterintuitive behavior may be fixed in a future release. With an HP15::eval, you should be especially careful to remember what's being looked at when: HP15::eval $x; # CASE 1 HP15::eval "$x"; # CASE 2 HP15::eval '$x'; # CASE 3 HP15::eval { $x }; # CASE 4 HP15::eval "\$$x++"; # CASE 5 $$x++; # CASE 6 CASEs 1 and 2 above behave identically: they run the code contained in the variable $x. (Although CASE 2 has misleading double quotes making the reader wonder what else might be happening (nothing is).) CASEs 3 and 4 likewise behave in the same way: they run the code '$x' , which does nothing but return the value of $x. (CASE 4 is preferred for purely visual reasons, but it also has the advantage of compiling at compile-time instead of at run-time.) CASE 5 is a place where normally you would like to use double quotes, except that in this particular situation, you can just use symbolic references instead, as in CASE 6. Before Perl 5.14, the assignment to $@ occurred before restoration of localized variables, which means that for your code to run on older versions, a temporary is required if you want to mask some but not all errors: # alter $@ on nefarious repugnancy only { my $e; { local $@; # protect existing $@ HP15::eval { test_repugnancy() }; # $@ =~ /nefarious/ and die $@; # Perl 5.14 and higher only $@ =~ /nefarious/ and $e = $@; } die $e if defined $e } The block of HP15::eval { block } does not count as a loop, so the loop control statements next, last, or redo cannot be used to leave or restart the block.
Filename Globbing
@glob = glob($expr); $glob = glob($expr); @glob = glob; $glob = glob; @glob = <*>; $glob = <*>; Performs filename expansion (globbing) on $expr, returning the next successive name on each call. If $expr is omitted, $_ is globbed instead. This operator is implemented via the Ehp15::glob() subroutine. See Ehp15::glob of Ehp15.pm for details.
Byte-Oriented Functions
Chop Byte String
$byte = CORE::chop($string); $byte = CORE::chop(@list); $byte = CORE::chop; This function chops off the last byte of a string variable and returns the byte chopped. The CORE::chop operator is used primarily to remove the newline from the end of an input record, and is more efficient than using a substitution (s/\n$//). If that's all you're doing, then it would be safer to use chomp, since CORE::chop always shortens the string no matter what's there, and chomp is more selective. You cannot CORE::chop a literal, only a variable. If you CORE::chop a @list of variables, each string in the list is chopped: @lines = `cat myfile`; CORE::chop @lines; You can CORE::chop anything that is an lvalue, including an assignment: CORE::chop($cwd = `pwd`); CORE::chop($answer = <STDIN>); This is different from: $answer = CORE::chop($temp = <STDIN>); # WRONG which puts a newline into $answer because CORE::chop returns the byte chopped, not the remaining string (which is in $tmp). One way to get the result intended here is with substr: $answer = substr <STDIN>, 0, -1; But this is more commonly written as: CORE::chop($answer = <STDIN>); In the most general case, CORE::chop can be expressed in terms of substr: $last_byte = CORE::chop($var); $last_byte = substr($var, -1, 1, ""); # same thing Once you understand this equivalence, you can use it to do bigger chops. To CORE::chop more than one byte, use substr as an lvalue, assigning a null string. The following removes the last five bytes of $caravan: substr($caravan, -5) = ""; The negative subscript causes substr to count from the end of the string instead of the beginning. If you wanted to save the bytes so removed, you could use the four-argument form of substr, creating something of a quintuple CORE::chop: $tail = substr($caravan, -5, 5, ""); If no argument is given, the function chops the $_ variable.
Ordinal Value of Byte
$ord = CORE::ord($expr); This function returns the numeric value of the first byte of $expr, regardless of "use HP15 qw(ord);" exists or not. If $expr is omitted, it uses $_. The return value is always unsigned. If you want a signed value, use unpack('c',$expr). If you want all the bytes of the string converted to a list of numbers, use unpack('C*',$expr) instead.
Reverse List or Byte String
@reverse = CORE::reverse(@list); $reverse = CORE::reverse(@list); In list context, this function returns a list value consisting of the elements of @list in the opposite order. In scalar context, the function concatenates all the elements of @list and then returns the reverse of that resulting string, byte by byte, regardless of "use HP15 qw(reverse);" exists or not.
Returns Next Byte
$getc = CORE::getc(FILEHANDLE); $getc = CORE::getc($filehandle); $getc = CORE::getc; This function returns the next byte from the input file attached to FILEHANDLE. It returns undef at end-of-file, or if an I/O error was encountered. If FILEHANDLE is omitted, the function reads from STDIN. This function is somewhat slow, but it's occasionally useful for single-byte input from the keyboard -- provided you manage to get your keyboard input unbuffered. This function requests unbuffered input from the standard I/O library. Unfortunately, the standard I/O library is not so standard as to provide a portable way to tell the underlying operating system to supply unbuffered keyboard input to the standard I/O system. To do that, you have to be slightly more clever, and in an operating-system-dependent fashion. Under Unix you might say this: if ($BSD_STYLE) { system "stty cbreak </dev/tty >/dev/tty 2>&1"; } else { system "stty", "-icanon", "eol", "\001"; } $key = CORE::getc; if ($BSD_STYLE) { system "stty -cbreak </dev/tty >/dev/tty 2>&1"; } else { system "stty", "icanon", "eol", "^@"; # ASCII NUL } print "\n"; This code puts the next single-byte typed on the terminal in the string $key. If your stty program has options like cbreak, you'll need to use the code where $BSD_STYLE is true. Otherwise, you'll need to use the code where it is false.
Index by Byte String
$index = CORE::index($string,$substring,$offset); $index = CORE::index($string,$substring); This function searches for one byte string within another. It returns the position of the first occurrence of $substring in $string. The $offset, if specified, says how many bytes from the start to skip before beginning to look. Positions are based at 0. If the substring is not found, the function returns one less than the base, ordinarily -1. To work your way through a string, you might say: $pos = -1; while (($pos = CORE::index($string, $lookfor, $pos)) > -1) { print "Found at $pos\n"; $pos++; }
Rindex by Byte String
$rindex = CORE::rindex($string,$substring,$offset); $rindex = CORE::rindex($string,$substring); This function works just like CORE::index except that it returns the position of the last occurrence of $substring in $string (a reverse CORE::index). The function returns -1 if not $substring is found. $offset, if specified, is the rightmost position that may be returned. To work your way through a string backward, say: $pos = CORE::length($string); while (($pos = CORE::rindex($string, $lookfor, $pos)) >= 0) { print "Found at $pos\n"; $pos--; }
Yada Yada Operator (HP15 software provides)
The yada yada operator (noted ...) is a placeholder for code. Perl parses it
without error, but when you try to execute a yada yada, it throws an exception
with the text Unimplemented:
sub unimplemented { ... }
eval { unimplemented() };
if ( $@ eq 'Unimplemented' ) {
print "I found the yada yada!\n";
}
You can only use the yada yada to stand in for a complete statement. These
examples of the yada yada work:
{ ... }
sub foo { ... }
...;
eval { ... };
sub foo {
my( $self ) = shift;
...;
}
do { my $n; ...; print 'Hurrah!' };
The yada yada cannot stand in for an expression that is part of a larger statement
since the ... is also the three-dot version of the range operator
(see "Range Operators"). These examples of the yada yada are still syntax errors:
print ...;
open my($fh), '>', '/dev/passwd' or ...;
if ( $condition && ... ) { print "Hello\n" };
There are some cases where Perl can't immediately tell the difference between an
expression and a statement. For instance, the syntax for a block and an anonymous
hash reference constructor look the same unless there's something in the braces that
give Perl a hint. The yada yada is a syntax error if Perl doesn't guess that the
{ ... } is a block. In that case, it doesn't think the ... is the yada yada because
it's expecting an expression instead of a statement:
my @transformed = map { ... } @input; # syntax error
You can use a ; inside your block to denote that the { ... } is a block and not a
hash reference constructor. Now the yada yada works:
my @transformed = map {; ... } @input; # ; disambiguates
my @transformed = map { ...; } @input; # ; disambiguates

BUGS, LIMITATIONS, and COMPATIBILITY
I have tested and verified this software using the best of my ability. However, a software containing much regular expression is bound to contain some bugs. Thus, if you happen to find a bug that's in HP15 software and not your own program, you can try to reduce it to a minimal test case and then report it to the following author's address. If you have an idea that could make this a more useful tool, please let everyone share it.
(dummy item to avoid Test::Pod error)
format
Function "format" can't handle multiple-octet code same as original Perl.
cloister of regular expression
The cloister (?s) and (?i) of a regular expression will not be implemented for the time being. Cloister (?s) can be substituted with the .(dot) and \N on /s modifier. Cloister (?i) can be substituted with \F...\E.
chdir
Function chdir() can always be executed with perl5.005.
There are the following limitations for DOS-like system(any of MSWin32, NetWare, symbian, dos).
On perl5.006 or perl5.00800, if path is ended by chr(0x5C), it needs jacode.pl library.
On perl5.008001 or later, perl5.010, perl5.012, perl5.014, perl5.016, perl5.018, perl5.020, perl5.022, perl5.024, perl5.026, perl5.028 if path is ended by chr(0x5C), chdir succeeds when a short path name (8dot3name) can be acquired according to COMMAND.COM or cmd.exe or Win95Cmd.exe. However, leaf-subdirectory of the current directory is a short path name (8dot3name).
see also, Bug #81839 chdir does not work with chr(0x5C) at end of path http://bugs.activestate.com/show_bug.cgi?id=81839
HP15::substr as Lvalue
If Perl version is older than 5.14, HP15::substr differs from CORE::substr, and cannot be used as a lvalue. To change part of a string, you need use the optional fourth argument which is the replacement string.
HP15::substr($string, 13, 4, "JPerl");
Special Variables $` and $& need /( Capture All )/
Because $` and $& use $1. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Before After Works as ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- $` Ehp15::PREMATCH() CORE::substr($&,0,CORE::length($&)-CORE::length($1)) ${`} Ehp15::PREMATCH() CORE::substr($&,0,CORE::length($&)-CORE::length($1)) $PREMATCH Ehp15::PREMATCH() CORE::substr($&,0,CORE::length($&)-CORE::length($1)) ${^PREMATCH} Ehp15::PREMATCH() CORE::substr($&,0,CORE::length($&)-CORE::length($1)) $& Ehp15::MATCH() $1 ${&} Ehp15::MATCH() $1 $MATCH Ehp15::MATCH() $1 ${^MATCH} Ehp15::MATCH() $1 $' $' $' ${'} ${'} $' $POSTMATCH Ehp15::POSTMATCH() $' ${^POSTMATCH} Ehp15::POSTMATCH() $' -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Limitation of Regular Expression
This software has limitation from \G in multibyte anchoring. Only the following Perl can treat the character string which exceeds 32766 octets with a regular expression.
perl 5.6 or later --- ActivePerl on MSWin32
perl 5.10.1 or later --- other Perl
see also, In 5.10.0, the * quantifier in patterns was sometimes treated as {0,32767} http://perldoc.perl.org/perl5101delta.html [perl #116379] \G can't treat over 32767 octet http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.perl5.porters/2013/01/msg197320.html perlre - Perl regular expressions http://perldoc.perl.org/perlre.html perlre length limit http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4592467/perlre-length-limit Japanese Document HP15/JA.pm
Empty Variable in Regular Expression
Unlike literal null string, an interpolated variable evaluated to the empty string can't use the most recent pattern from a previous successful regular expression.
Limitation of ?? and m??
Multibyte character needs ( ) which is before {n,m}, {n,}, {n}, *, and + in ?? or m??. As a result, you need to rewrite a script about $1,$2,$3,... You cannot use (?: ) ?, {n,m}?, {n,}?, and {n}? in ?? and m??, because delimiter of m?? is '?'.
Look-behind Assertion
The look-behind assertion like (?<=[A-Z]) is not prevented from matching trail octet of the previous multiple-octet code.
Modifier /a /d /l and /u of Regular Expression
The concept of this software is not to use two or more encoding methods as literal string and literal of regexp in one Perl script. Therefore, modifier /a, /d, /l, and /u are not supported. \d means [0-9] universally.
Named Character
A named character, such \N{GREEK SMALL LETTER EPSILON}, \N{greek:epsilon}, or \N{epsilon} is not supported.
Unicode Properties (aka Character Properties) of Regular Expression
Unicode properties (aka character properties) of regexp are not available. Also (?[]) in regexp of Perl 5.18 is not available. There is no plans to currently support these.
${^WIN32_SLOPPY_STAT} is ignored
Even if ${^WIN32_SLOPPY_STAT} is set to a true value, file test functions Ehp15::*(), Ehp15::lstat(), and Ehp15::stat() on Microsoft Windows open the file for the path which has chr(0x5c) at end.
Delimiter of String and Regexp
qq//, q//, qw//, qx//, qr//, m//, s///, tr///, and y/// can't use a wide character as the delimiter.
\b{...} Boundaries in Regular Expressions
Following \b{...} available starting in v5.22 are not supported.
\b{gcb} or \b{g} Unicode "Grapheme Cluster Boundary" \b{sb} Unicode "Sentence Boundary" \b{wb} Unicode "Word Boundary" \B{gcb} or \B{g} Unicode "Grapheme Cluster Boundary" doesn't match \B{sb} Unicode "Sentence Boundary" doesn't match \B{wb} Unicode "Word Boundary" doesn't match

My Goal
P.401 See chapter 15: Unicode of ISBN 0-596-00027-8 Programming Perl Third Edition.
Before the introduction of Unicode support in perl, The eq operator just compared the byte-strings represented by two scalars. Beginning with perl 5.8, eq compares two byte-strings with simultaneous consideration of the UTF8 flag.
/* You are not expected to understand this */
Information processing model beginning with perl 5.8
+----------------------+---------------------+
| Text strings | |
+----------+-----------| Binary strings |
| UTF-8 | Latin-1 | |
+----------+-----------+---------------------+
| UTF8 | Not UTF8 |
| Flagged | Flagged |
+--------------------------------------------+
http://perl-users.jp/articles/advent-calendar/2010/casual/4
Confusion of Perl string model is made from double meanings of
"Binary string."
Meanings of "Binary string"
1. Non-Text string
2. Digital octet string
Let's draw again using those term.
+----------------------+---------------------+
| Text strings | |
+----------+-----------| Non-Text strings |
| UTF-8 | Latin-1 | |
+----------+-----------+---------------------+
| UTF8 | Not UTF8 |
| Flagged | Flagged |
+--------------------------------------------+
| Digital octet string |
+--------------------------------------------+
There are people who don't agree to change in the character string processing model of Perl 5.8. It is impossible to get to agree it to majority of Perl user who hardly ever use Perl. How to solve it by returning to a original method, let's drag out page 402 of the old dusty Programming Perl, 3rd ed. again.
Information processing model beginning with perl3 or this software
of UNIX/C-ism.
+--------------------------------------------+
| Text string as Digital octet string |
| Digital octet string as Text string |
+--------------------------------------------+
| Not UTF8 Flagged, No Mojibake |
+--------------------------------------------+
In UNIX Everything is a File
- In UNIX everything is a stream of bytes
- In UNIX the filesystem is used as a universal name space
Native Encoding Scripting
- native encoding of file contents
- native encoding of file name on filesystem
- native encoding of command line
- native encoding of environment variable
- native encoding of API
- native encoding of network packet
- native encoding of database
Ideally, I'd like to achieve these five Goals:
Goal #1:
Old byte-oriented programs should not spontaneously break on the old byte-oriented data they used to work on.
This goal has been achieved by that this software is additional code for perl like utf8 pragma. Perl should work same as past Perl if added nothing.
Goal #2:
Old byte-oriented programs should magically start working on the new character-oriented data when appropriate.
Still now, 1 octet is counted with 1 by built-in functions length, substr, index, rindex, and pos that handle length and position of string. In this part, there is no change. The length of 1 character of 2 octet code is 2.
On the other hand, the regular expression in the script is added the multibyte anchoring processing with this software, instead of you.
figure of Goal #1 and Goal #2.
GOAL#1 GOAL#2 (a) (b) (c) (d) (e) +--------------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+ | data | Old | Old | New | Old | New | +--------------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+ | script | Old | Old | New | +--------------+-------+---------------+---------------+ | interpreter | Old | New | +--------------+-------+-------------------------------+ Old --- Old byte-oriented New --- New character-oriented
There is a combination from (a) to (e) in data, script, and interpreter of old and new. Let's add the Encode module and this software did not exist at time of be written this document and JPerl did exist.
(a) (b) (c) (d) (e) JPerl,japerl Encode,HP15 +--------------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+ | data | Old | Old | New | Old | New | +--------------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+ | script | Old | Old | New | +--------------+-------+---------------+---------------+ | interpreter | Old | New | +--------------+-------+-------------------------------+ Old --- Old byte-oriented New --- New character-oriented
The reason why JPerl is very excellent is that it is at the position of (c). That is, it is not necessary to do a special description to the script to process new character-oriented string. (May the japerl take over JPerl!)
Goal #3:
Programs should run just as fast in the new character-oriented mode as in the old byte-oriented mode.
It is impossible. Because the following time is necessary.
(1) Time of escape script for old byte-oriented perl.
(2) Time of processing regular expression by escaped script while multibyte anchoring.
Someday, I want to ask Larry Wall about this goal in the elevator.
Goal #4:
Perl should remain one language, rather than forking into a byte-oriented Perl and a character-oriented Perl.
JPerl remains one Perl language by forking to two interpreters. However, the Perl core team did not desire fork of the interpreter. As a result, Perl language forked contrary to goal #4.
A character-oriented perl is not necessary to make it specially, because a byte-oriented perl can already treat the binary data. This software is only an application program of byte-oriented Perl, a filter program.
And you will get support from the Perl community, when you solve the problem by the Perl script.
HP15 software remains one language and one interpreter.
Goal #5:
JPerl users will be able to maintain JPerl by Perl.
May the JPerl be with you, always.
Back when Programming Perl, 3rd ed. was written, UTF8 flag was not born and Perl is designed to make the easy jobs easy. This software provides programming environment like at that time.
Perl's motto
Some computer scientists (the reductionists, in particular) would
like to deny it, but people have funny-shaped minds. Mental geography
is not linear, and cannot be mapped onto a flat surface without
severe distortion. But for the last score years or so, computer
reductionists have been first bowing down at the Temple of Orthogonality,
then rising up to preach their ideas of ascetic rectitude to any who
would listen.
Their fervent but misguided desire was simply to squash your mind to
fit their mindset, to smush your patterns of thought into some sort of
Hyperdimensional Flatland. It's a joyless existence, being smushed.
--- Learning Perl on Win32 Systems
If you think this is a big headache, you're right. No one likes
this situation, but Perl does the best it can with the input and
encodings it has to deal with. If only we could reset history and
not make so many mistakes next time.
--- Learning Perl 6th Edition
The most important thing for most people to know about handling
Unicode data in Perl, however, is that if you don't ever use any Uni-
code data -- if none of your files are marked as UTF-8 and you don't
use UTF-8 locales -- then you can happily pretend that you're back in
Perl 5.005_03 land; the Unicode features will in no way interfere with
your code unless you're explicitly using them. Sometimes the twin
goals of embracing Unicode but not disturbing old-style byte-oriented
scripts has led to compromise and confusion, but it's the Perl way to
silently do the right thing, which is what Perl ends up doing.
