NAME

XML::Literal - Syntax suppor for XML literals

SYNOPSIS

# This is not a source filter: it just augments glob().
use XML::Simple;
use XML::Literal \&XMLin;

# Simple element
my $xml1 = <hr/>;

# With variable interpolation
my $xml2 = <input value='$ARGV[0]' />;

# With an extra pair of angle brackets
my $xml3 = < <a href='/'> Some Text </a> >;

# With escaped angle brackets 
my $xml4 = <a href='/'\> Some Text \</a>;

# Direct call to the xml-building glob'' constructor
my $xml5 = glob'
    <p><em>
        Some Text
    </em></p>
';

# This does not look like XML, so it's still shell glob
my @files = <*.*>;

DESCRIPTION

This module takes one function at its use line. Afterwards, all single-line <...> calls that looks like a XML literal will be processed with that function, instead of the built-in shell glob.

Support for qx<...> overriding for multiline XML literals is planned for Perl 5.10.
