Texas::To::Uni

Library and tool to convert operators in Perl 6 source files from Texas to Unicode

Texas::To::Uni

WORK IN PROGRESS

This package provides you a basic(and incomplete) way to convert operators in your Perl 6-related files from Texas(ASCII-based) version to Unicode symbol version.

It doesn't support some operators and have some limitations, but it will be improved in the future.

Usage

The most simple example is:

use Texas::To::Uni;

convert-file($filename);

This module has two basic subroutines:

  • convert-file - it takes file name and by default points output to a new file with extension like old-file-name.uni.old-extension. New path can be set in :$new-path named argument. It can rewrite file if :$rewrite flag was set. However, rewriting is not recommended, since this module is still buggy and can mess up your work.

  • convert-string - internal function that takes read-write string and converts it accordingly to operator table.
