Regexp::List(3pm)

💖 Regexp::List — the Perl manual page, bestie edition 💖

okay so welcome to Regexp::List(3pm), a User Contributed Perl Documentation page, and honestly? It's giving legacy. Let's get into it 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

Regexp::List — Assemble multiple Regular Expressions into a single RE

No cap, that's the whole job description. Multiple regexes in, one regex out. Iconic behaviour, truly.

---

🎀 VERSION 🎀

$Id: List.pm,v 0.20 2013/02/23 13:43:59 dankogai Exp $

---

💀 DEPRECATED 💀

Use Regexp::Assemble instead.

That's it. That's the whole section. The module is lowkey retired and it is NOT being subtle about it. Bestie, if you're starting something new, go straight to Regexp::Assemble. 🙈

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

use Regexp::List;
my $rl = Regexp::List->new();
my @list = ( 'ab+c', 'ab+-',  'a\w\d+', 'a\d+' );
print $rl->list2re(@list);
# Regexp::Asssemble->new->add(@list);

(the Regexp::Asssemble with three s's in that comment? that's literally how it's written in the original, do not @ me 😭)

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So the tea is: this module exists just for the sake of compatibility w/ version 0.16 and below. It's a nostalgia artifact. A little time capsule. It's not here to do new tricks, it's here so your old code doesn't break. Respect honestly. 👑

✨ new

Just a stub.

Literally nothing happens. It's a placeholder wearing a trench coat. 🧚

✨ list2re

Simply does:

Regexp::Asssemble->new->add(@list);

That's the whole implementation. It just hands your list over to Regexp::Assemble and lets the grown-ups handle it. Delegation queen. 💅
