Perl6::Str on CPAN
Hi,
today I released Perl6::Str to CPAN. It's a module for grapheme level
string handling, and the methods are modeled closely after those of Perl 6.
I cheated a bit in that I didn't implement codepoint and byte level
semantics, since perl 5 supports them natively already.
It lacks some features, some features aren't properly tested yet (like
normalization), and some aren't planned at all (pack/unpack for example).
It's also meant as an inspiration: grapheme level string handling
doesn't have to be hard (it just becomes hard if you optimize the code ...)
All comments are welcome.
Cheers,
Moritz
