NAME

String::RewritePrefix - rewrite strings based on a set of known prefixes

VERSION

version 0.005

SYNOPSIS

use String::RewritePrefix;
my @to_load = String::RewritePrefix->rewrite(
  { '' => 'MyApp::', '+' => '' },
  qw(Plugin Mixin Addon +Corporate::Thinger),
);

# now you have:
qw(MyApp::Plugin MyApp::Mixin MyApp::Addon Corporate::Thinger)

You can also import a rewrite routine:

use String::RewritePrefix rewrite => {
  -as => 'rewrite_dt_prefix',
  prefixes => { '' => 'MyApp::', '+' => '' },
};

my @to_load = rewrite_dt_prefix( qw(Plugin Mixin Addon +Corporate::Thinger));

# now you have:
qw(MyApp::Plugin MyApp::Mixin MyApp::Addon Corporate::Thinger)

METHODS

rewrite

String::RewritePrefix->rewrite(\%prefix, @strings);

This rewrites all the given strings using the rules in %prefix. Its keys are known prefixes for which its values will be substituted. This is performed in longest-first order, and only one prefix will be rewritten.

If the prefix value is a coderef, it will be executed with the remaining string as its only argument. The return value will be used as the prefix.
