NAME
Acrux::Util - The Acrux utilities
SYNOPSIS
use Acrux::Util;
DESCRIPTION
This module provides portable utility functions for Acrux
clone
my $copy = clone(\@array);
my $copy = clone(\%hash);
This function is a proxy function for "dclone" in Storable
It makes recursive copies of nested hash, array, scalar and reference types, including tied variables and objects. The clone()
takes a scalar argument and duplicates it. To duplicate lists, arrays or hashes, pass them in by reference, e.g.
color
say color(blue => "Format %s %s" => "text", "foo");
say color(cyan => "text");
say color("red on_bright_yellow" => "text");
say STDERR color("red on_bright_yellow" => "text");
Returns colored formatted string if is session was runned from terminal
Supported normal foreground colors:
black, red, green, yellow, blue, magenta, cyan, white
Bright foreground colors:
bright_black, bright_red, bright_green, bright_yellow
bright_blue, bright_magenta, bright_cyan, bright_white
Normal background colors:
on_black, on_red, on_green, on yellow
on_blue, on_magenta, on_cyan, on_white
Bright background color:
on_bright_black, on_bright_red, on_bright_green, on_bright_yellow
on_bright_blue, on_bright_magenta, on_bright_cyan, on_bright_white
See also Term::ANSIColor
deprecated
deprecated('foo is DEPRECATED in favor of bar');
Warn about deprecated feature from perspective of caller. You can also set the ACRUX_FATAL_DEPRECATIONS
environment variable to make them die instead with Carp
dformat
$string = dformat( $mask, \%replacehash );
$string = dformat( $mask, %replacehash );
Replace substrings "[...]" in mask and returns replaced result. Data for replacing get from \%replacehash
For example:
# -> 01-foo-bar.baz.tgz
$string = dformat( "01-[NAME]-bar.[EXT].tgz", {
NAME => 'foo',
EXT => 'baz',
});

fduration
print fduration( 123 );
Returns formatted duration value
humanize_duration
print humanize_duration ( 123 );
Turns duration value into a simplified human readable format
humanize_number
print humanize_number( $number, $sep );

See also "humanize_bytes" in Mojo::Util
indent
my $indented = indent($str, 4, ' ');
my $indented = indent($str, 1, "\t");
Indent multi-line string
# " foo\n bar\n baz\n"
print indent("foo\nbar\nbaz\n", 2);
You can use number of indent-chars and indent-symbol manuality:
# "> foo\n> bar\n> baz\n"
my $data = indent("foo\nbar\nbaz\n", 1, '> ');
See also "unindent" in Mojo::Util to unindent multi-line strings
is_os_type
$is_windows = is_os_type('Windows');
$is_unix = is_os_type('Unix', 'dragonfly');
Given an OS type and OS name, returns true or false if the OS name is of the given type. As with os_type, it will use the current operating system as a default if no OS name is provided
Original this function see in "is_os_type" in Perl::OSType
load_class
my $error = load_class('Foo::Bar');
Loads a class and returns a false value if loading was successful, a true value if the class was not found or loading failed.
os_type
$os_type = os_type(); # Unix
$os_type = os_type('MSWin32'); # Windows
Returns a single, generic OS type for a given operating system name. With no arguments, returns the OS type for the current value of $^O. If the operating system is not recognized, the function will return the empty string.
Original this function see in "os_type" in Perl::OSType
parse_expire
print parse_expire("+1d"); # 86400
print parse_expire("-1d"); # -86400
Returns offset of expires time (in secs).
Original this function is the part of CGI::Util::expire_calc!
This internal routine creates an expires time exactly some number of hours from the current time. It incorporates modifications from Mark Fisher.
format for time can be in any of the forms:
now -- expire immediately
+180s -- in 180 seconds
+2m -- in 2 minutes
+12h -- in 12 hours
+1d -- in 1 day
+3M -- in 3 months
+2y -- in 2 years
-3m -- 3 minutes ago(!)
If you don't supply one of these forms, we assume you are specifying the date yourself
parse_time_offset
my $off = parse_time_offset("1h2m24s"); # 4344
my $off = parse_time_offset("1h 2m 24s"); # 4344
Returns offset of time (in secs)
prompt
my $value = prompt($message);
my $value = prompt($message, $default);
The prompt()
is an extremely simple function, based on the extremely simple prompt offered by ExtUtils::MakeMaker. In many cases this function just to prompt for input
This function displays the message as a prompt for input and returns the (chomped) response from the user, or the default if the response was empty
If the program is not running interactively, the default will be used without prompting. If no default is provided, an empty string will be used instead
See also: "prompt" in ExtUtils::MakeMaker, IO::Prompt::Tiny
randchars
$rand = randchars( $n ); # default chars collection: 0..9,'a'..'z','A'..'Z'
$rand = randchars( $n, \@collection ); # Defined chars collection
Returns random sequence of casual characters by the amount of n
For example:
$rand = randchars( 8, [qw/a b c d e f/]); # -> cdeccfdf
slurp
my $data = slurp($file, %args);
my $data = slurp($file, { %args });
slurp($file, { buffer => \my $data });
my $data = slurp($file, { binmode => ":raw:utf8" });
Reads file $filename into a scalar
my $data = slurp($file, { binmode => ":unix" });
Reads file in fast, unbuffered, raw mode
my $data = slurp($file, { binmode => ":unix:encoding(UTF-8)" });
Reads file with UTF-8 encoding
By default it returns this scalar. Can optionally take these named arguments:
- binmode
-
Set the layers to read the file with. The default will be something sensible on your platform
- block_size
-
Set the buffered block size in bytes, default to 1048576 bytes (1 MiB)
- buffer
-
Pass a reference to a scalar to read the file into, instead of returning it by value. This has performance benefits
See also "spew" to writing data to file
spew
spew($file, $data, %args);
spew($file, $data, { %args });
spew($file, \$data, { %args });
spew($file, \@data, { %args });
spew($file, $data, { binmode => ":raw:utf8" });
Writes data to a file atomically. The only argument is binmode
, which is passed to binmode()
on the handle used for writing.
Can optionally take these named arguments:
- append
-
This argument is a boolean option, defaulted to false (
0
). Setting this argument to true (1
) will cause the data to be be written at the end of the current file. Internally this sets the sysopen mode flagO_APPEND
- binmode
-
Set the layers to write the file with. The default will be something sensible on your platform
- locked
-
This argument is a boolean option, defaulted to false (
0
). Setting this argument to true (1
) will ensure an that existing file will not be overwritten - mode
-
This numeric argument sets the default mode of opening files to write. By default this argument to
(O_WRONLY | O_CREAT)
. Please DO NOT set this argument unless really necessary! - perms
-
This argument sets the permissions of newly-created files. This value is modified by your process's umask and defaults to 0666 (same as sysopen)
See also "slurp" to reading data from file
spurt
See "spew"
strf
print strf( $format, %data );
print strf( $format, \%data );
The strf
function returns a string representing hash-data as string in specified $format
. This function is somewhat similar to the C function strftime(), except that the data source is not the date and time, but the set of data passed to the function.
The format string may be containing any combination of regular characters and special format specifiers (patterns). These patterns are replaced to the corresponding values to represent the data passed as second function argument. They all begin with a percentage (%) sign, and are: '%c' or '%{word}'. The "c" is single character specifier like %d, the "word" is regular word like "month" or "filename"
If you give a pattern that doesn't exist, then it is simply treated as text. If you give a pattern that doesn't defined but is exist in data set, then it will be replaced to empty text string ('')
Please note! All patterns '%%'
will be replaced to literal '%'
character if you not redefinet this pattern in Your data set manually
Simple examples:
my %d = (
f => 'foo',
b => 'bar',
baz => 'test',
u => undef,
t => time,
d => 1,
i => 2000,
n => "\n",
);
print strf("test %f string", %d); # "test foo string"
print strf("%{baz} time=%t", %d); # "test time=1234567890"
print strf("test %f%b%i", %d); # "test foobar2000"
print strf("%d%% %{baz}", \%d); # "1% test"
print strf("%f%n%b", \%d); # "foo\nbar"
print strf("%f%u%b", \%d); # "foobar"
print strf("%f%X%b", \%d); # "foo%Xbar"
touch
touch( "file" ) or die "Can't touch file";
Makes file exist, with current timestamp
trim
print '"'.trim( " string " ).'"'; # "string"
Returns the string with all leading and trailing whitespace removed. Trim on undef returns undef. Original this function see String::Util
truncstr
print truncstr( $string, $cutoff_length, $continued_symbol );
If the $string is longer than the $cutoff_length, then the string will be truncated to $cutoff_length characters, including the $continued_symbol (which defaults to '.' if none is specified).
print truncstr( "qwertyuiop", 3, '.' ); # q.p
print truncstr( "qwertyuiop", 7, '.' ); # qw...op
print truncstr( "qwertyuiop", 7, '*' ); # qw***op
Returns a line the fixed length from 3 to the n chars
See also "variant_stf" in CTK::Util
tz_diff
print tz_diff( time ); # +0300
print tz_diff( time, ':' ); # +03:00
Returns TimeZone difference value
print fdt("%w, %DD %MON %YYYY %hh:%mm:%ss ".tz_diff(time), time);
Prints RFC-2822 format date
words
my $arr = words( ' foo bar, baz bar ' ); # ['foo', 'bar', 'baz']
my $arr = words( ' foo bar ', ' baz' ); # ['foo', 'bar', 'baz']
my $arr = words( [' foo bar ', ' baz'] ); # ['foo', 'bar', 'baz']
my $arr = words( ['foo, bar'], ['baz bar '] ); # ['foo', 'bar', 'baz']
This function parse string by words and returns as an anonymous array. All words in the resultating array are unique and arranged in the order of the input string
