Text/Shellwords version 1.00 ============================ This is a thin wrapper around the shellwords.pl package, which comes preinstalled with Perl. This module imports a single subroutine, shellwords(). The shellwords() routine parses lines of text and returns a set of tokens using the same rules that the Unix shell does for its command-line arguments. Tokens are separated by whitespace, and can be delimited by single or double quotes. The module also respects backslash escapes. INSTALLATION To install this module type the following: perl Makefile.PL make make test make install DEPENDENCIES This module requires these other modules and libraries: shellwords.pl (standard part of Perl distribution) COPYRIGHT AND LICENCE Author: Lincoln Stein .
