=head1 NAME
Text::ParseWords - parse text into an array of tokens
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use Text::ParseWords;
@words = "ewords($delim, $keep, @lines);
@words = &shellwords(@lines);
@words = &old_shellwords(@lines);
=head1 DESCRIPTION
"ewords() accepts a delimiter (which can be a regular expression)
and a list of lines and then breaks those lines up into a list of
words ignoring delimiters that appear inside quotes.
The $keep argument is a boolean flag. If true, the quotes are kept
with each word, otherwise quotes are stripped in the splitting process.
$keep also defines whether unprotected backslashes are retained.
A &shellwords() replacement is included to demonstrate the new package.
This version differs from the original in that it will _NOT_ default
to using $_ if no arguments are given. I personally find the old behavior
to be a mis-feature.
"ewords() works by simply jamming all of @lines into a single
string in $_ and then pulling off words a bit at a time until $_
is exhausted.
=head1 AUTHORS
Hal Pomeranz (pomeranz@netcom.com), 23 March 1994
Basically an update and generalization of the old shellwords.pl.
Much code shamelessly stolen from the old version (author unknown).

sub quotewords {
# The inner "for" loop builds up each word (or $field) one $snippet
# at a time. A $snippet is a quoted string, a backslashed character,
# or an unquoted string. We fall out of the "for" loop when we reach
# the end of $_ or when we hit a delimiter. Falling out of the "for"
# loop, we push the $field we've been building up onto the list of
# @words we'll be returning, and then loop back and pull another word
# off of $_.
#
# The first two cases inside the "for" loop deal with quoted strings.
# The first case matches a double quoted string, removes it from $_,
# and assigns the double quoted string to $snippet in the body of the
# conditional. The second case handles single quoted strings. In
# the third case we've found a quote at the current beginning of $_,
# but it didn't match the quoted string regexps in the first two cases,
# so it must be an unbalanced quote and we croak with an error (which can
# be caught by eval()).
#
# The next case handles backslashed characters, and the next case is the
# exit case on reaching the end of the string or finding a delimiter.
#
# Otherwise, we've found an unquoted thing and we pull of characters one
# at a time until we reach something that could start another $snippet--
# a quote of some sort, a backslash, or the delimiter. This one character
# at a time behavior was necessary if the delimiter was going to be a
# regexp (love to hear it if you can figure out a better way).
