    App::wordlist - Grep words from WordList::*

VERSION
    This document describes version 0.263 of App::wordlist (from Perl
    distribution App-wordlist), released on 2018-01-07.

SYNOPSIS
    See the included script wordlist.

FUNCTIONS
  wordlist
    Usage:

     wordlist(%args) -> [status, msg, result, meta]

    Grep words from WordList::*.

    Examples:

    *   By default print all words from all wordlists:

         wordlist();

    *   Print all words matching /foo/ and /bar/:

         wordlist( arg => ["foo", "bar"]);

    *   Print all words matching /foo/ or /bar/:

         wordlist( arg => ["foo", "bar"], or => 1);

    *   Print wordlist name for each matching words:

         wordlist( arg => ["foo"], detail => 1);

    *   Select a specific wordlist (multiple -w allowed):

         wordlist( arg => ["foo"], wordlists => ["ID::KBBI"]);

    *   Select phrase wordlists (multiple -t allowed):

         wordlist( arg => ["foo"], types => ["Phrase"]);

    *   Select French wordlists (multiple --lang allowed):

         wordlist( arg => ["foo"], langs => ["FR"]);

    *   Filter by regex:

         wordlist( arg => ["/fof[aeiou]/"]);

    *   List installed wordlist modules:

         wordlist( action => "list_installed");

    *   List wordlist modules available on CPAN:

         wordlist( action => "list_cpan");

    This function is not exported.

    Arguments ('*' denotes required arguments):

    *   action => *str* (default: "grep")

    *   arg => *array[str]*

    *   color => *str* (default: "auto")

        When to highlight search string/matching pattern with color.

    *   detail => *bool*

        Display more information when listing modules/result.

        When listing installed modules ("-l"), this means also returning a
        wordlist's type and language.

        When returning grep result, this means also returning wordlist name.

    *   ignore_case => *bool* (default: 1)

    *   langs => *array[str]*

        Only include wordlists of certain language(s).

    *   lcpan => *bool*

        Use local CPAN mirror first when available (for -L).

    *   len => *int*

    *   max_len => *int*

    *   min_len => *int*

    *   num => *int* (default: 0)

        Return (at most) this number of words (0 = unlimited).

    *   or => *bool*

        Match any word in query instead of the default "all".

    *   random => *bool*

        Pick random words (must set --num to positive number).

    *   types => *array[str]*

        Only include wordlists of certain type(s).

        By convention, language information is encoded in the wordlist's
        name. For example, English wordlists have names matching "EN::*" or
        "Word::EN::*" or "Char::EN::*" or "Phrase::EN::*".

    *   wordlists => *array[str]*

        Select one or more wordlist modules.

    Returns an enveloped result (an array).

    First element (status) is an integer containing HTTP status code (200
    means OK, 4xx caller error, 5xx function error). Second element (msg) is
    a string containing error message, or 'OK' if status is 200. Third
    element (result) is optional, the actual result. Fourth element (meta)
    is called result metadata and is optional, a hash that contains extra
    information.

    Return value: (any)

ENVIRONMENT
  DEBUG => bool
  COLOR => bool
    Set color on/off when --color=auto (the default).
