# intercept calls to the overridden-functions, and it calls _dispatch
# with the name of the function which was being called and the string to
# change the case of. _dispatch looks up the function name in %^H to
# find the index which in turn yields the function reference. If there

=head1 NAME
Unicode::Casing - Perl extension to override system case changing functions
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use Unicode::Casing
uc => \&my_uc, lc => \&my_lc,
ucfirst => \&my_ucfirst, lcfirst => \&my_lcfirst,
fc => \&my_fc;
no Unicode::Casing;
package foo::bar;
use Unicode::Casing -load;
sub import {
Unicode::Casing->import(
uc => \&_uc,
lc => \&_lc,
ucfirst => \&_ucfirst,
lcfirst => \&_lcfirst,
fc => \&_fc,
);
}
sub unimport {
Unicode::Casing->unimport;
}
=head1 DESCRIPTION
This module allows overriding the system-defined character case changing
operations. Any time something in its lexical scope would ordinarily call
C<lc()>, C<lcfirst()>, C<uc()>, C<ucfirst()>, or C<fc()>, the corresponding
user-specified function will instead be called. This applies to direct calls
(even those prefaced by C<CORE::>), and indirect calls via the C<\L>, C<\l>,
C<\U>, C<\u>, and C<\F> escapes in double-quoted strings and regular
expressions.
Each function is passed a string whose case is to be changed, and should
return the case-changed version of that string. Within the function's
dynamic scope, references to the operation it is overriding use the
non-overridden version. For example:
sub my_uc {
my $string = shift;
print "Debugging information\n";
return uc($string);
}
use Unicode::Casing uc => \&my_uc;
uc($foo);
gives the standard upper-casing behavior, but prints "Debugging information"
first. This also applies to the escapes. Using, for example, C<\U> inside
the override function for C<uc()> will call the non-overridden C<uc()>.
Since this applies across the dynamic scope, if C<my_uc> calls function C<a>
which calls C<b> which calls C<c> which calls C<uc>, that C<uc> is the
non-overridden version. Otherwise there would be the possibility of infinite
recursion. And, it fits with the typical use of these functions, which is to
use the standard case change except for a few select characters, as shown in
the example below.
It is an error to not specify at least one override in the "use" statement.
Ones not specified use the standard operation. It is also an error to specify
more than one override for the same function.
C<use re 'eval'> is not needed to have the inline case-changing sequences
work in regular expressions.
Here's an example of a real-life application, for Turkish, that shows
context-sensitive case-changing. (Because of bugs in earlier Perls, version
v5.12 is required for this example to work properly.)
sub turkish_lc($) {
my $string = shift;
# Unless an I is before a dot_above, it turns into a dotless i (the
# dot above being attached to the I, without an intervening other
# Above mark; an intervening non-mark (ccc=0) would mean that the
# dot above would be attached to that character and not the I)
$string =~ s/I (?! [^\p{ccc=0}\p{ccc=Above}]* \x{0307} )/\x{131}/gx;
# But when the I is followed by a dot_above, remove the dot_above so
# the end result will be i.
$string =~ s/I ([^\p{ccc=0}\p{ccc=Above}]* ) \x{0307}/i$1/gx;
$string =~ s/\x{130}/i/g;
return lc($string);
}
A potential problem with context-dependent case changing is that the routine
may be passed insufficient context, especially with the in-line escapes like
C<\L>.
F<90turkish.t>, which comes with the distribution includes a full implementation
of all the Turkish casing rules.
Note that there are problems with the standard case changing operation for
characters whose code points are between 128 and 255. To get the correct
Unicode behavior, the strings must be encoded in utf8 (which the override
functions can force) or calls to the operations must be within the scope of C<use
feature 'unicode_strings'> (which is available starting in Perl version 5.12).
Also, note that C<fc()> and C<\F> are available only in Perls starting with
version v5.15.8. Trying to override them on earlier versions will result in
a fatal error.
Note that there can be problems installing this (at least on Windows)
if using an old version of ExtUtils::Depends. To get around this follow
these steps:
=over
=item 1
upgrade ExtUtils::Depends
=item 2
force install B::Hooks::OP::Check
=item 3
force install B::Hooks::OP::PPAddr

=head1 BUGS
This module doesn't play well when there are other attempts to override the
functions, such as C<use subs qw(uc lc ...);> or
S<C<*CORE::GLOBAL::uc = sub { .... };>>. Which thing gets called depends on
the ordering of the calls, and scoping rules break down.
