=head1 NAME
charnames - define character names for C<\N{named}> string literal escape.
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use charnames ':full'; print "\N{GREEK SMALL LETTER SIGMA} is called sigma.\n";
use charnames ':short'; print "\N{greek:Sigma} is an upper-case sigma.\n";
use charnames qw(cyrillic greek); print "\N{sigma} is Greek sigma, and \N{be} is Cyrillic b.\n";
=head1 DESCRIPTION
Pragma C<use charnames> supports arguments C<:full>, C<:short> and script names. If C<:full> is present, for expansion of C<\N{CHARNAME}}> string C<CHARNAME> is first looked in the list of standard Unicode names of chars. If C<:short> is present, and C<CHARNAME> has the form C<SCRIPT:CNAME>, then C<CNAME> is looked up as a letter in script C<SCRIPT>. If pragma C<use charnames> is used with script name arguments, then for C<\N{CHARNAME}}> the name C<CHARNAME> is looked up as a letter in the given scripts (in the specified order).
For lookup of C<CHARNAME> inside a given script C<SCRIPTNAME> this pragma looks for the names
SCRIPTNAME CAPITAL LETTER CHARNAME SCRIPTNAME SMALL LETTER CHARNAME SCRIPTNAME LETTER CHARNAME
in the table of standard Unicode names. If C<CHARNAME> is lowercase, then the C<CAPITAL> variant is ignored, otherwise the C<SMALL> variant is ignored.
=head1 CUSTOM TRANSLATORS
The mechanism of translation of C<\N{...}> escapes is general and not hardwired into F<charnames.pm>. A module can install custom translations (inside the scope which C<use>s the module) with the following magic incantation:
use charnames (); # for $charnames::hint_bits sub import { shift; $^H |= $charnames::hint_bits; $^H{charnames} = \&translator; }
Here translator() is a subroutine which takes C<CHARNAME> as an argument, and returns text to insert into the string instead of the C<\N{CHARNAME}> escape. Since the text to insert should be different in C<bytes> mode and out of it, the function should check the current state of C<bytes>-flag as in:
use bytes (); # for $bytes::hint_bits sub translator { if ($^H & $bytes::hint_bits) { return bytes_translator(@_); } else { return utf8_translator(@_); } }
=head1 BUGS
Since evaluation of the translation function happens in a middle of compilation (of a string literal), the translation function should not do any C<eval>s or C<require>s. This restriction should be lifted in a future version of Perl.
