NAME

Data::Rx::Type::PCRE - PCRE string checking for Rx (experimental)

VERSION

version 0.004

SYNOPSIS

  use Data::Rx;
  use Data::Rx::Type::PCRE;

  my $rx = Data::Rx->new({
    type_plugins => [ 'Data::Rx::Type::PCRE' ]
  });

  my $ph_number = $rx->make_schema({
    type  => 'tag:rjbs.manxome.org,2008-10-04:rx/pcre/str',
    regex => q/\A867-[5309]{4}\z/,
  });

DESCRIPTION

This provides a new type, currently known as tag:rjbs.manxome.org,2008-10-04:rx/pcre/str, which checks strings against the Perl-compatible regular expression library. Note! This uses PCRE, not Perl's regular expressions. There are differences, but very few.

Schema definitions must have a regex parameter, which provides the regular expression as a string. They may also have a flags parameter, which provides regular expression flags to be passed to the (?i-i) style flag modifier.

WARNING

This plugin is still pretty experimental. When it's less so, it may get a new type URI. Its interface may change between now and then.
