NAME
Simple::Filter::Macro - Perl extension for creating macro modules that are expanding use declarations inline in Perl code.
SYNOPSIS
use Simple::Filter::Macro;DESCRIPTION
Expand use pragma declarations to one use pragma declaration.
TO-DO
Improvement of the documentation.
MOTIVATION
I was looking for a module that would allow me to merge a number of use pragma declarations in the module and replace them with a single use pragma declaration. The module Filter::Macro that I found contains the right approaches for this, but is not executable under Perl v5.30 how I found out. After analysing the source code, I decided to create a new module based on the aforementioned approaches. The problem in the source code As I figured out is the use of the Perl command quotemeta. Since Perl v5.16 the use of quotemeta is obsolet as I suppose. The first attempts with basic changes in the source code were not without errors. In the meantime, the Perl code works as expected. The first two methods of this module are the result of my efforts.
EXPORT
None
