NAME

String::Substitute - generate strings using different combinations of
subsitute characters

VERSION

version 0.007

SYNOPSIS

use String::Substitute qw(get_all_substitutes);

my @results = get_all_substitutes(
string => 'ABC',
substitutions => {
A => 'Aa',
B => 'Bb',
},
);

say for @results;

would print (with nondeterministic order):

ABC
aBC
AbC
abC

As a one-liner it might look like this:

perl -Ilib -MString::Substitute=get_all_substitutes -E 'say for get_all_substitutes(string => "ABC", substitutions => { A => "Aa", B => "Bb" })'

DESCRIPTION

This module is all about generating strings given an initial string and
a set of allowed character substitutions.

EXPORTS

get_all_substitutes

Return, as a list, all possible strings that can be generated by
applying different combinations of substitutions to the string passed
as the 'string' argument. See SYNOPSIS for an example.

The order in which the different candidates are returned is not
guaranteed.

Takes only keyword arguments:

string

The string you want to apply the substitutions on.

substitutions

A HASHREF mapping each substitutable character to a string of
different characters that it may be replaced with.

e.g. {A => "Aa", B => "Bb"} means that each occurrence of A will be
replaced with an 'A', or an 'a', in the returned substitutions.
