textproc/p5-String-ToIdentifier-EN 0.12 DragonFly

String::ToIdentifier::EN provides a utility method, "to_identifier" for converting an arbitrary string into a readable representation using the ASCII subset of \w for use as an identifier in a computer program. The intent is to make unique identifier names from which the content of the original string can be easily inferred by a human just by reading the identifier.

If you need the full set of \w including Unicode, see the subclass String::ToIdentifier::EN::Unicode.

Currently, this process is one way only, and will likely remain this way.

The default is to create camelCase identifiers, or you may pass in a separator char of your choice such as _.

Binary char groups will be separated by _ even in camelCase identifiers to make them easier to read, e.g.: foo_2_0xFF_Bar.
