DESCRIPTION
The methods in the "Test::STD:Scrub" package are designed to support the
"Test::STDmaker" and the "ExtUtils::SVDmaker" package. This is the focus
and no other focus. Since "Test::STD::Scrub" is a separate package, the
methods may be used elsewhere. They are used to wild card out parts of
two documents before they are compared by making these snippets the
same. In all likehood, any revisions will maintain backwards
compatibility with previous revisions. However, support and the
performance of the "Test::STDmaker" and "ExtUtils::SVDmaker" packages
has priority over backwards compatibility.
scrub_date_ticket
$scrubbed_text = Test::STD::Scrub->scrub_date_ticket($script_text)
When comparing the contents of email messages, the date and email ticket
should not be used in the comparision. The *scrub_date_ticket* method
will replace the date and email ticket with a generic value. Applying
the *scrub_date_ticket* to the contents of both files before the
comparision will eliminate the data and ticket as factors in the
comparision.
scrub_date_version
$scrubbed_text = Test::STD::Scrub->scrub_date_version($script_text)
When comparing the contents of two Perl program modules, the date and
version should not be used in the comparision. The *scrub_date_ticket*
method will replace the date and version with a generic value. Applying
the *scrub_date_ticket* to the contents of both files before the
comparision will eliminate the date and version as factors in the
comparision.
scrub_file_line
$scrubbed_text = Test::STD::Scrub->scrub_file_line($script_text)
When comparing the ouput of *Test* module the file and line number
should not be used in the comparision. The *scrub_file_line* method will
replace the file and line with a generic value. Applying the
*scrub_file_line* to the contents of both files before the comparision
will eliminate the file and line as factors in the comparision.
scrub_test_file
$scrubbed_text = Test::STD::Scrub->scrub_test_file($script_text)
When comparing the ouput of *Test:Harness* module the test file should
not be used in the comparision. The *scrub_test_file* method will
replace the test file with a generic value. Applying the
*scrub_test_file* to the contents of both files before the comparision
will eliminate the test file as a factor in the comparision.
REQUIREMENTS
Someday.

QUALITY ASSURANCE
Running the test script "Scrub.t" verifies the requirements for this
module. The "tmake.pl" cover script for Test::STDmaker automatically
generated the "Scrub.t" test script, "Scrub.d" demo script, and
"t::Text::Scrub" program module POD, from the "t::Text::Scrub" program
module contents. The "tmake.pl" cover script automatically ran the
"Scrub.d" demo script and inserted the results into the 'DEMONSTRATION'
section above. The "t::Text::Scrub" program module is in the
distribution file Text-Scrub-$VERSION.tar.gz.

Software Version Description
for
Text::Scrub - Utilites to wild card parts of a text file for comparisons.
Revision: E
Version: 0.06
Date: 2004/05/10
Prepared for: General Public
Prepared by: SoftwareDiamonds.com E<lt>

Copyright: copyright � 2003 Software Diamonds
Classification: NONE
1.0 SCOPE
This paragraph identifies and provides an overview of the released
files.
1.1 Identification
This release, identified in 3.2, is a collection of Perl modules that
extend the capabilities of the Perl language.
1.2 System overview
The "Text::Scrub" module extends the Perl language (the system).
When comparing text there are small snippets such as version numbers and
dates that should be wild carded out and not influence the comparisions.
The Test::STD:Scrub module replaces these small snippets with invariant
snippet. By replacing the same part of each file with the same invariant
snippet, those small sections of text are effectively wild carded for
the comparisions.
When performing tests, the ability to wild card small snippets of text
is vital in making accurate comparison. The same capability is also
essential for version control in comparing two pieces of software to see
if there are significant changes.
1.3 Document overview.
This document releases Text::Scrub version 0.06 providing a description
of the inventory, installation instructions and other information

3.3 Changes
The changes are as follows:
Test-STD-Scrub-0.01
Rename Module
At 02:44 AM 6/14/2003 +0200, Max Maischein wrote: A second thing
that I would like you to reconsider is the naming of
"Test::TestUtil" respectively "Test::Tech" - neither of those is
descriptive of what the routines actually do or what the module
implements. I would recommend renaming them to something closer
to your other modules, maybe "Test::SVDMaker::Util" and
"Test::SVDMaker::Tech", as some routines do not seem to be
specific to the Test::-suite but rather general
(format_array_table). Some parts (the "scrub" routines) might
even better live in another module namespace,
"Test::Util::ScrubData" or something like that.
Broke away the "scrub" routines from Test::TestUtil created this
module Test::STD::Scrub.
new methods
Added the scrub_data and scrub_probe methods
Test-STD-Scrub-0.02
Use the new modules from the break-up of the "File::FileUtil" module
Text-Scrub-0.01
Moved to a more appropriate library location.
Text-Scrub-0.02
Change the test so that test support program modules resides in
distribution directory tlib directory instead of the lib directory.
Because they are no longer in the lib directory, test support files
will not be installed as a pre-condition for the test of this
module. The test of this module will precede immediately. The test
support files in the tlib directory will vanish after the
installtion.
Text-Scrub-0.03
Recreate distribution file with Archive::TarGzip 0.02 that uses mode
777 for directories instead of 666. Started to get emails from Unix
installers about untar not being able to change to a directory with
mode of 666.
Text-Scrub-0.04
Changes the 'stringify' module for 'Test-Tech' from 'Data::Strify'
to 'Data::Secs2'.
Text-Scrub-0.05
The lastest build of Test::STDmaker expects the test library in the
same directory as the test script. Coordiated with the lastest
Test::STDmaker by moving the test library from tlib to t/Text, the
same directory as the test script and deleting the test library
File::TestPath program module.
Added "SEE ALSO" section. Reworked QUALITY ASSURANCE and NOTES
sections.
