String::Escape Description

String::Escape is a Perl module which contains registry of string functions, including backslash escapes. String::Escape is a Perl module which contains registry of string functions, including backslash escapes.SYNOPSIS use String::Escape qw( printable unprintable ); # Convert control, high-bit chars to n or xxx escapes $output = printable($value); # Convert escape sequences back to original chars $value = unprintable($input); use String::Escape qw( elide ); # Shorten strings to fit, if necessary foreach (@_) { print elide( $_, 79 ) . "n"; } use String::Escape qw( string2list list2string ); # Pack and unpack simple lists by quoting each item $list = list2string( @list ); @list = string2list( $list ); use String::Escape qw( string2hash hash2string ); # Pack and unpack simple hashes by quoting each item $hash = hash2string( %hash ); %hash = string2hash( $hash ); use String::Escape qw( escape ); # Defer selection of escaping routines until runtime $escape_name = $use_quotes ? 'qprintable' : 'printable'; @escaped = escape($escape_name, @values);This module provides a flexible calling interface to some frequently-performed string conversion functions, including applying and removing C/Unix-style backslash escapes like n and t, wrapping and removing double-quotes, and truncating to fit within a desired length.Furthermore, the escape() function provides for dynamic selection of operations by using a package hash variable to map escape specification strings to the functions which implement them. The lookup imposes a bit of a performance penalty, but allows for some useful late-binding behaviour. Compound specifications (ex. 'quoted uppercase') are expanded to a list of functions to be applied in order. Other modules may also register their functions here for later general use.
