String::Checker - An extensible string validation module (allowing commonly used checks on strings to be called more concisely and consistently). Copyright (c) 1999 WebJuice, L.L.C. All rights reserved. This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the same terms as Perl itself. This is a very simple library for checking a string against a given set of expectations. It contains a number of pre-defined expectations which can be used, and can also be extended to perform any arbitrary match or modification on a string. Why is this useful? If you're only checking one string, it probably isn't. However, if you're checking a bunch of strings (say, for example, CGI input parameters) against a set of expectations, this comes in pretty handy. As a matter of fact, the CGI::ArgChecker module is a simple, CGI.pm aware wrapper for this library. This module has only been tested under FreeBSD, Linux and Solaris, though I can't think of any reason why it shouldn't work elsewhere. Building # perl Makefile.PL # make Installing # make install
