Text::Kakasi is a perl frontend to kakasi.

SYNOPSIS

use Text::Kakasi;
# functional
$res = Text::Kakasi::getopt_argv(-JJ, -c, -w);
$str = Text::Kakasi::do_kakasi($japanese_text);
# object-oriented
$obj = Text::Kakasi->new(-JJ, -c, -w);
$str = $obj->get($japanese_text);

This module provides interface to kakasi (kanji kana simple inverter). kakasi is a set of programs and libraries which does what Japanese input methods do in reverse order. You feed Japanese and kakasi converts it to phonetic representation thereof. kakasi can also be used to tokenizing Japanese text. To find more about kakasi, see http://kakasi.namazu.org/ .

Text::Kakasi now features both functional and object-oriented APIs. functional APIs are 100% compatible with ver. 1.05. But to take advantage of "Perl 5.8 Features", you should use OOP APIs instead.

See Text::Kakasi::JP for the Japanese version of this document.

Text::ScriptTemplate is a standalone ASP/JSP/PHP-style template processor.

SYNOPSIS

use Text::ScriptTemplate;

$text = . # - also supports variable expansion
< % } % >
EOF

$tmpl = new Text::ScriptTemplate; # create processor object
$tmpl->setq(TEXT => "hello, world"); # export data to template

# load, fill, and print expanded result in single action
print $tmpl->pack($text)->fill;

This is a successor of Text::SimpleTemplate, a module for template- based text generation.

Template-based text generation is a way to separate program code and data, so non-programmer can control final result (like HTML) as desired without tweaking the program code itself. By doing so, jobs like website maintenance is much easier because you can leave program code unchanged even if page redesign was needed.

The idea of this module is simple. Whenever a block of text surrounded by (or any pair of delimiters you specify) is found, it will be taken as Perl expression, and will be handled specially by template processing engine. With this module, Perl script and text can be intermixed closely.

Major goal of this library is to provide support of powerful PHP-style template with smaller resource. This is useful when PHP, Java/JSP, or Apache::ASP is overkill, but their template style is still desired.

Text::VimColor is a syntax color text in HTML or XML using Vim.

SYNOPSIS

use Text::VimColor;
my $syntax = Text::VimColor->new(
file => $0,
filetype => perl,
);

print $syntax->html;
print $syntax->xml;

This module tries to markup text files according to their syntax. It can be used to produce web pages with pretty-printed colourful source code samples. It can produce output in the following formats:

HTML

Valid XHTML 1.0, with the exact colouring and style left to a CSS stylesheet

XML

Pieces of text are marked with XML elements in a simple vocabulary, which can be converted to other formats, for example, using XSLT

Perl array

A simple Perl data structure, so that Perl code can be used to turn it into whatever is needed

This module works by running the Vim text editor and getting it to apply its excellent syntax highlighting (aka font-locking) to an input file, and mark pieces of text according to whether it thinks they are comments, keywords, strings, etc. The Perl code then reads back this markup and converts it to the desired output format.

This is an object-oriented module. To use it, create an object with the new function (as shown above in the SYNOPSIS) and then call methods to get the markup out.

Apache::Pod::Text is a mod_perl handler to convert Pod to plain text.
