METHODS
This package implements the following methods:
defined
defined() : Num
The defined method returns true if the object represents a value that meets the criteria for being defined, otherwise it returns false.
eq
eq(Any $arg1) : Any
The eq method will throw an exception if called.
ge
ge(Any $arg1) : Any
The ge method will throw an exception if called.
gt
gt(Any $arg1) : Any
The gt method will throw an exception if called.
le
le(Any $arg1) : Any
The le method will throw an exception if called.
lt
lt(Any $arg1) : Any
The lt method will throw an exception if called.
ne
ne(Any $arg1) : Any
The ne method will throw an exception if called.
replace
replace(Str $arg1, Str $arg2) : ReplaceObject
The replace method performs a regular expression substitution on the given string. The first argument is the string to match against. The second argument is the replacement string. The optional third argument might be a string representing flags to append to the s///x operator, such as 'g' or 'e'. This method will always return a Data::Object::Replace object which can be used to introspect the result of the operation.
- replace example #1
-
my $re = Data::Object::Regexp->new(qr/test/); $re->replace('this is a test', 'drill');
- replace example #2
-
my $re = Data::Object::Regexp->new(qr/test/); $re->replace('test 1 test 2 test 3', 'drill', 'gi');
search
search(Str $arg1) : SearchObject
The search method performs a regular expression match against the given string, this method will always return a Data::Object::Search object which can be used to introspect the result of the operation.
- search example #2
-
my $re = Data::Object::Regexp->new(qr/test/); $re->search('this does not match', 'gi');
