NAME

Perl6::Feeds - implements perl6 feed operators in perl5 via source filtering

VERSION

version 0.14

requires perl version 5.9.5 or higher

this code is currently in beta, bug reports welcome

SYNOPSIS

feed operators allow you to write expressions that flow left to right and top down, rather than the right to left, bottom up order imposed by function nesting.

use Perl6::Feeds;

1..10 ==> map {$_**2} ==> grep {$_>10} ==> join " " ==> print;
# is the same as
print join " " => grep {$_>10} map {$_**2} 1..10;

1 .. 3000
    ==> map [$_, $_ ** 2 ]
    ==> grep {$$_[1] =~ s/(([^0])\2{3,})/ ($1) /g}
    ==> our @list                            # assignments start with /my|our|local|[$@%&*]/
    ==> map {@$_ ==> map "[$_]"              # nesting is fine
                 ==> join '^2 ==> '}         # strings are safe
    ==>> 'found '.@list.' numbers: '         # appends a list  (never an assignment)
    ==>< "\nnumbers with squares that ".     # prepends a list (never an assignment)
         "have non zero runs of 4+ digits:\n"  # this isn't in the spec, but might be useful
    ==>  join ("\n")                         # closed argument lists are adjusted
    ==>> (@list ==> map $$_[0] ==> join ' ')
  =====> print;                              # feed arrows match /==+>[<>]?/

BUGS

currently, only left to right feeds are supported, and there may be a few corner cases that the filter will fail on.
