NAME
List::Analyse::Sequence::Analyser::OL::RomanNumerals - Find Roman numeral sequences.
DESCRIPTION
Used as a plugin to List::Analyse::Sequence, this will determine whether your sequence contains any Roman numerals.
SYNOPSIS
use List::Analyse::Sequence;
...
my $seq = List::Analyse::Sequence->new;
$seq->use_these_analysers( 'List::Analyse::Sequence::Analyser::OL::RomanNumerals' );
$seq->analyse( @stuff );
my ($result) = $seq->result;
# Returns undef if no sequences matched.
if( defined $result ) {
my $roman_analyser = $result->[0];
...
}
...List::Analyse::Sequence will return an object of this type when it is finished analysing if your list had a Roman numeral sequence in it.
If a consistent prefix was found, this will be stored and you can get at it with the prefix method on that object.
METHODS
new
Creates a new one. This is called by List::Analyse::Sequence and so you probably don't need to use it directly.
analyse
Analyses a string for sequentialism with the previous.
done
When finished, the shortest prefix found was taken to be the prefix. In the case where multiple prefixes were found (i.e. multiple sequences) you will therefore only be told of the first.
prefix
The consistent prefix that was found in front of your numeral sequence.
