Text::Balanced - Extract delimited text sequences from strings.
SUMMARY
Text::Balanced::extract_delimited
`extract_delimited' extracts the initial substring of a string
which is delimited by a user-specified set of single-character
delimiters, whilst ignoring any backslash-escaped delimiter
characters.
Text::Balanced::extract_bracketed
`extract_bracketed' extracts a balanced-bracket-delimited substring
(using any one (or more) of the user-specified delimiter brackets:
'(..)', '{..}', '[..]', or '<..>').
Text::Balanced::extract_quotelike
`extract_quotelike' attempts to recognize and extract any one of the
various Perl quote and quotelike operators (see "perlop(3)"). Embedded
backslashed delimiters, nested bracket delimiters (for the
quotelike operators), and trailing modifiers are all correctly handled.
Text::Balanced::extract_codeblock
`extract_codeblock' attempts to recognize and extract a
balanced bracket-delimited substring which may also contain
unbalanced brackets inside Perl quotes or quotelike
operations. That is, `extract_codeblock' is like a combination
of `extract_bracketed' and `extract_quotelike'.
Text::Balanced::extract_tagged
`extract_tagged' attempts to recognize and extract a
substring between two arbitrary "tag" patterns (a start tag
and an end tag).
