=head1 NAME

Text::Xslate::Bridge::Star - Selection of common utilities for templates

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    use Text::Xslate;

    my $tx = Text::Xslate->new(
        module => ['Text::Xslate::Bridge::Star'],
    );

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This module provides a selection of utilities for templates.

=head1 FUNCTIONS

=head2 C<lc($str)>

Returns a lower-cased version of I<$str>.
The same as C<CORE::lc()>, but returns undef if I<$str> is undef.

See L<perldoc/lc> for details.

=head2 C<uc($str)>

Returns a upper-cased version of I<$str>.
The same as C<CORE::uc()>, but returns undef if I<$str> is undef.

See L<perldoc/uc> for details.

=head2 C<substr($str, $offset, $len)>

Extracts a substring out of I<$str> and returns it.
The same as C<CORE::substr()>, but returns undef if I<$str> is undef.

See L<perldoc/substr> for details.

=head2 C<sprintf($fmt, args...)>

Returns a string formatted by the C<CORE::sprintf()>.
L<$fmt> must be a defined value.

See L<perldoc/sprintf> for details.

=head2 C<rx($regex_pattern)>

Compiles I<$regex_patter> as a regular expression and return the regex object. You can pass a regex object to C<match()> or C<replace()> described bellow.
The same as C<qr//> operator in Perl.

=head2 C<match($str, $pattern)>

Tests if I<$str> matches I<$pattern>. I<$pattern> may be a string or a regex object.

Like C<< $str =~ $pattern >> in Perl but you have to pass a regex object explicitly if you can use regular expressions.

Examples:

    : match("foo bar baz", "foo")     ? "true" : "false" # true
    : match("foo bar baz", "f..")     ? "true" : "false" # false
    : match("foo bar baz", rx("f..")) ? "true" : "false" # true

=head2 C<replace($str, $pattern, $replacement)>

Replaces all the I<$pattern>s in I<$str> with I<$replacement>s.
Like as C<< $str =~ s/$pattern/$replacement/g >> but you have to pass a regex object explicitly if you can use regular expressions.

=head2 C<split($str [, $pattern [, $limit]])>

Splits the string I<$str> into a list of strings and returns the list.
