Perl6::Form Description

Perl6::Form module implements the Perl 6 'form' built-in. Perl6::Form module implements the Perl 6 'form' built-in.SYNOPSIS use Perl6::Form; $text = form " =================================== ", "| NAME | AGE | ID NUMBER |", "|----------+------------+-----------|", "| {>} |", $name, $age, $ID, "|===================================|", "| COMMENTS |", "|-----------------------------------|", "| {[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[} |", $comments, " =================================== ";Formats are Perl 5's mechanism for creating text templates with fixed-width fields. Those fields are then filled in using values from prespecified package variables.Unlike Perl 5, Perl 6 doesn't have a format keyword. Or the associated built-in formatting mechanism. Instead it has a Form.pm module. And a form function.Like a Perl 5 format statement, the form function takes a series of format (or "picture") strings, each of which is immediately followed by a suitable set of replacement values. It interpolates those values into the placeholders specified within each picture string, and returns the result: $text = form $format_f1, $datum1, $datum2, $datum3, $format_f2, $datum4, $format_f3, $datum5;So, whereas in Perl 5 we might write: # Perl 5 code... our ($name, $age, $ID, $comments); format STDOUT =================================== | NAME | AGE | ID NUMBER | |----------+------------+-----------| | @>> | $name, $age, $ID, |===================================| | COMMENTS | |-----------------------------------| | ^ Requirements: · Perl
