# Walk through a perl script and create a masked file which is
# similar but which masks comments, quotes, patterns, and non-code
# lines so that it is easy to parse with regular expressions.
#
# usage:
# perlmask [-cn]  myfile.pl >myfile.new
# perlmask [-cn] <myfile.pl >myfile.new
#
# In the masked file,
#  -comments and pod will be masked (or removed)
#  -here-doc text lines will be masked (or removed)
#  -quotes and patterns, qw quotes, and here doc << operators will be
#   replaced by the letters 'Q', 'q', or 'h'
#
# The result is a file in which all braces, parens, and square brackets
# are balanced, and it can be parsed relatively easily by regular
# expressions.
#
# -cn is an optional 'compression' flag.  By default the masked file will have
# the same number of characters as the input file, with the difference being
# that certain characters will be changed (masked).
#
# If character position correspondence is not required, the size of the masked
# file can be significantly reduced by increasing the 'compression' level as
# follows:
#
# -c0 all mask file line numbers and character positions agree with
#     original file (DEFAULT)
# -c1 line numbers agree and character positions agree within lines of code
# -c2 line numbers agree but character positions do not
# -c3 no correspondence between line numbers or character positions
#
# Try each of these on a file of significant size to see how they work.
# The default, -c0, is required if you are working with character positions
# that span multiple lines.  The other levels may be useful if you
# do not need this level of correspondence.
#
# This file is one of the examples distributed with perltidy and demonstrates
# using a callback object with Perl::Tidy to walk through a perl file and find
# all of its tokens.  It can be useful for simple perl code parsing tasks.  It
# might even be helpful in debugging.  Or you may want to modify it to suit
# your own purposes.

#
# The PerlMask package is an interface to perltidy which accepts a
# source filehandle and returns a 'masked' version of the source as
# a string or array.  It can also optionally return the original file
# as a string or array.
#
# It works by making a callback object with a write_line() method to
# receive tokenized lines from perltidy.  This write_line method
# selectively replaces tokens with either their original text or with a
# benign masking character (such as '#' or 'Q').
#
# Usage:
#
#   PerlMask::perlmask(
#       _source         => $fh,             # required source
#       _rmasked_file   => \$masked_file,   # required ref to ARRAY or SCALAR
#       _roriginal_file => \$original_file, # optional ref to ARRAY or SCALAR
#       _compression    => $opt_c           # optional
#   );
#
# _source is any source that perltidy will accept, including a
# filehandle or reference to SCALAR or ARRAY
#
# The compression flag may have these values:
#  0 all mask file line numbers and character positions agree with
#    original file (DEFAULT)
#  1 line numbers agree and character positions agree within lines of code
#  2 line numbers agree but character positions do not
#  3 no correspondence between line numbers or character positions
