NAME

Perl::ToPerl6::Transformer::Array::AddWhitespace - Format qw() to qw ()

AFFILIATION

This Transformer is part of the core Perl::ToPerl6 distribution.

DESCRIPTION

Perl6 qw() operates almost exactly like Perl5 qw() but with one corner case - qw(a b c), like any bareword followed by an open parenthesis, is treated as a function call. This Transformer places a whitespace between qw and (...) in order to disambiguate, like so:

qw(a b c) --> qw (a b c)
qw{a b c} --> qw{a b c}
qw<a b c> --> qw{a b c}

CONFIGURATION

This Transformer is not configurable except for the standard options.
