Regexp:...:lingua(3)

🎀 NAME 🎀

okay so this is the Regexp:...:lingua(3) page from User Contributed Perl Documentation, and the star of the show is:

Regexp::Common::lingua — provide regexes for language related stuff. 💖

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

use Regexp::Common qw /lingua/;

while (<>) {
    /^$RE{lingua}{palindrome}$/    and  print "is a palindrome\n";
}

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Bestie, please consult the manual of Regexp::Common for a general description of the works of this interface. It's giving “go read the main character's manual first.” 📖👑

Do not use this module directly, but load it via Regexp::Common. fr fr, that's the rule. 🫶

🌸 "$RE{lingua}{palindrome}" 🌸

Returns a pattern that recognizes a palindrome, a string that is the same if you reverse it. Literally the “tacocat” of regexes. 🐱🔄

By default, it only matches strings consisting of letters, but this can be changed using the {-chars} option. This option takes a character class (default is [A-Za-z]) as argument. Slay. 💅

If {-keep} is used, only $1 will be set, and set to the entire match. Not me keeping track of exactly one capture group, but okay. 🙈

This pattern requires at least perl 5.6.0. No cap. ⭐
