Sympa::HTML::URIFind(3Sympa)

💖 Sympa::HTML::URIFind — the finder of URIs and emails 💖

okay bestie, you're looking at the manual page for Sympa::HTML::URIFind, which lives in the Sympa perl library (section 3, so it's a module, not a command you run in your shell, iykyk). She's a little perl module whose whole job is finding links and email addresses in plain text. She's giving very demure, very mindful, very URI-detecting. 🦋

🌸 NAME 🌸

Sympa::HTML::URIFind — Find URIs / email addresses in plain text ✨

Like. That's it. That's her whole personality and we love her for it. 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

here's the vibe in code form, copy it exactly bestie:

require Sympa::HTML::URIFind;

my $finder = Sympa::HTML::URIFind->new;

$how_many_found = $finder->find(\$text);

so you require the module, you make a new finder object, and then you call find on it and pass it a reference to your text scalar (\$text, note the backslash, don't forget it, she needs the ref not the raw string 😭). She hands you back how many things she found, and she does not just tell you about them — she goes and wraps them up in HTML tags inside that text. main character behaviour, honestly. 👑

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

okay so here's the tea. This module modifies a plain text to wrap all URIs and email addresses in HTML tags. 🎀

she takes your boring little plain text and she's like "not on my watch" and dresses it all up in HTML. and the best part? Special characters are escaped appropriately. 🙈 no letting weird little < and & characters run around causing chaos — they get escaped properly, as they should. periodt. 💖
