Source: libsort-fields-perl Section: perl Priority: optional Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 5) Build-Depends-Indep: perl (>= 5.8.8-12) Maintainer: Dominic Hargreaves Standards-Version: 3.7.3 Homepage: http://search.cpan.org/dist/Sort-Fields/ Package: libsort-fields-perl Architecture: all Depends: ${perl:Depends}, ${misc:Depends} Description: Sort lines containing delimited fields Sort::Fields provides a general purpose technique for efficiently sorting lists of lines that contain data separated into fields. . Sort::Fields automatically imports two subroutines, fieldsort and make_fieldsort, and two variants, stable_fieldsort and make_stable_fieldsort. make_fieldsort generates a sorting subroutine and returns a reference to it. fieldsort is a wrapper for the make_fieldsort subroutine. . The first argument to make_fieldsort is a delimiter string, which is used as a regular expression argument for a split operator. The delimiter string is optional. If it is not supplied, make_fieldsort splits each line using /\s+/.
