✨ Catmandu::Fix::replace_all ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the Catmandu::Fix::replace_all page from your very own User Contributed Perl Documentation (section 3pm, iykyk) 💅

🎀 NAME 🎀

Catmandu::Fix::replace_all — search and replace using regex expressions 🌸

like, it does a find-and-replace, but make it regex. no cap.

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

here's the whole vibe, bestie — we're pulling a lil substring out of a field's value 🦋:

# Extract a substring out of the value of a field
# {author => "tom jones"}
replace_all(author, '([^ ]+) ([^ ]+)', '$2, $1')
# {author => "jones, tom"}

the way that {author => "tom jones"} just became {author => "jones, tom"}?? iconic. it literally swapped the two capture groups and slid a comma in between. ate. 🔥

lowkey important: the regex '([^ ]+) ([^ ]+)' and the replacement '$2, $1' are exactly what they are — don't be out here renaming them, bestie 🫶

and that's the whole page fr fr 💜 this one's from perl v5.40.1, dated 2026-01-24 — stay slay, go fix some fields, mwah 🎀✨🦋
